Creating an Account (AMARA)

Faculty can fully control how to apply and manage their own Research Computing account.

AMARA (Account Management and Resource Allocation) is our self-service web interface  that allows CWRU faculty to apply for and manage one or more HPC accounts. HPC accounts can be established for research groups, course groups, or collaborative storage groups.

Faculty may also assign designated manager(s) for each account to elevate another faculty, or a senior personnel to help manage the users associated with each account.  

AMARA is available on any browser after entering the user credentials (Single Sign On + Duo authentication).

Visit our AMARA site to either 'apply', or to manage an established research group (only faculty sponsors PIs have access). 

• The HPC application request is still allowed only for a faculty member.

• Access to the PI's account is allowed to the faculty or the account manager.

• Regular account users can check their available resources on the page and change the default, if there are more than 1 resource.

• To add external collaborators including case Alumni in your account, request the affiliated account via https://case.edu/utech/help/knowledge-base/affiliate-network-id.

A walkthrough of account management with AMARA is available.
