Employee, Non-US Citizen, Onsite

Network passwords for general computer access are obtained through the online Computer Access Request System (CARS) and are automatically generated for employees. You should already have a network password. If not, see your administrator. Once you have your network password, use the online Integrated Operations System (IOPS) to request access to the specific machine at the MSCF you wish to use (such as the IBM SP or a workstation). This machine must already be listed on your Foreign National Visitor's Access form (FNVA). If access is granted, within a week you will be told where to pick up your Unix password. About the same time you may receive further information from the MSCF, depending on the computers you will be using.

If you already have an account, you can request access to additional computer resources at any time in the future by first asking your administrator to update your Foreign National Visitor's Access form (FNVA) then going back to the IOPS; the CARS will also need to be updated.

ALL users should read the Terms & Conditions for using the computer resources at PNNL. A detailed description of the procedures for getting an account can also be found on the Getting Started page.

ALL employees must be current on their online Unclassified Cyber Security Awareness Training Offsite: Unclassified Cyber Security Awareness Training (printable version Offsite: Unclassified Cyber Security Awareness Training - Printable Version) within 14 days of receiving a system password or the password will be cancelled.

Your administrator should be able to assist you if you have any questions about getting an account.
