Logging in to Publisher

Overview

Publisher uses a digital identity management system developed by DNAstack called Passport to represent a researcher's digital identity and associated permissions. Passport is designed to facilitate data access in a federated environment, where data is stored in multiple locations and controlled by different organizations.

To access Publisher, you will be prompted to log in with Passport, which is backed by Google Single-Sign-On (SSO).

At this time, a Google account is required for signing into Publisher, independently of any data source configurations. This means there is no interaction between the account you use for login and any accounts you may use for accessing cloud resources.

If you do not currently have a Google account, you can follow this guide to register your email address with a Google account.

How to log in to Publisher

• Navigate to your instance of Publisher and click "Log in with Passport".

• Click "Sign in with Google" and choose a Google account for single sign-on.

This will share your name, email address, and profile image with DNAstack, but does not grant Google any permissions related to resources you connect to through Publisher. Once you have successfully signed in, you will be taken to the Collections page, which displays the list of Collections in your Publisher.
