Creation of an LS-AAI Account

LS-AAI accounts can be associated with the user institutional IdP. This is the preferred approach, as the user will not need to create a new user and password and it relates a user to an institution. However, some institutions are not included in the LS-AAI set of trusted Identity Providers, which will require creating a user and a password or to use a personal account, which will require additional verifications when the data access request is performed. The steps are the following: 

• Access the “My Profile” area of the Dashboard (figure 1).
• Search for the institutional IdP and log in using your institutional credentials (figure 2). Alternatively, a user account can be created or other personal accounts can be used.
• Proceed to the registration of the user in the LS Login (figure 3). Provide your name, email, and a username, read the Privacy Policy and the Usage Policy of the LS-AAI service and click on the boxes confirming so.
• The account’s email needs to be verified (figure 4). Once the email has been verified, the user holds a valid LS-AAI account.
• The details of the account can be modified in https://profile.aai.lifescience-ri.eu/profile.
