Applying for access to JASMIN servers
Get a login account
A user with a jasmin-login grant is allocated a HOME directory of 100GB and can access the shared JASMIN servers (
scientific servers,
data transfer servers) and
the LOTUS batch cluster.
If you have an existing account but are unable to access JASMIN for any reason (e.g., forgotten password, changed email address or institution), please do not reregister for a new JASMIN account. If you have already created a new account, please do not apply for the jasmin-login service with the new account. Instead, please contact the helpdesk to resolve the issue.
Step 1: Sign in into the JASMIN Accounts Portal and select ‘Manage JASMIN services’ to navigate to the JASMIN Services page.
Step 2: From the ‘Discover Services’ menu on the left, select ‘Login Services’, then select ‘More information’ for the jasmin-login service.
Step 3: Click the green ‘Apply’ button next to the ‘USER’ role.
Step 4: Fill in the form with supporting information for your application, so the JASMIN Team can assess your eligibility to access JASMIN.

Please note that jasmin-login applications are processed manually by a small team, and depending on the time of year there may be many other users applying at the same time.
The approvals process may also involve contacting any references listed on the application, which can cause further delays.
Please don’t raise a ticket with the helpdesk unless you haven’t heard from us after 2 weeks.
Step 5: Your request for jasmin-login is now pending.
Step 6: You will receive a notification of the outcome of your application by email and in the Accounts Portal notifications.
