Step 3 – Apply for a UPPMAX Account

Apply for a UPPMAX Account

Once your project has been approved in SUPR, your allocation on Gorilla, Pelle, and/or Lutra becomes active.
To log in to these systems, you must also have a UPPMAX user account. This account is separate from SUPR and is required for accessing the compute clusters operated by UPPMAX.

Why You Need a UPPMAX Account

The UPPMAX systems (Gorilla, Pelle, Lutra) are operated by Uppsala University.

SUPR is used to manage the resources applications and allocations, but you still need a local UPPMAX user account so you can:

  • log in via SSH
  • access project directories
  • run jobs on the clusters
  • use software modules and storage areas

How to Apply for a UPPMAX Account

  1. Log into SUPR here: https://supr.naiss.se, using the same identity you used for SUPR.
  2. In the left hand menu, click Accounts.
  3. Under the heading Account Requests, you should find the project that got approved.
  4. Click Request account.
