As before, new users will still need to go to their Computing Group administrator who will make the electronic request for account creation using CRA and give the new user their initial password. The difference is that the requested accounts will be created and usable almost immediately.
Users will then have 3 days within which they must go to the web page http://cern.ch/cernaccount and click on 'New User'. They will be required to follow a short computer security awareness training course, read the CERN Computing Rules, and then confirm that they accept the rules. If this is not completed within 3 days all their computer accounts will be blocked and they will have to contact the Helpdesk to unblock their accounts and get a second chance to complete the registration. During the introductory phase the existing paper forms will also be accepted but as of January 2008 all new users will be obliged to pass via the electronic procedure.
In addition we encourage all existing users to also follow the awareness training. The training is part of the Safety Information Registration system (SIR) and completion of the training is recorded in the persons safety training record of the HR (Personnel) database.
