Logging into Workbench
Overview
Workbench 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 Workbench, 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 Workbench, independently of any engine configurations. This means there is no interaction between the account you use for login and any accounts you may use for utilizing 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.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Navigate to Workbench at workbench.omics.ai.
Step 2: Click "Log in with Passport". This will take you to the login page.
Step 3: Click "Sign in with Google".
Step 4: Choose a Google account to use for single sign-on. This will share your email and profile with DNAstack, but does not grant Google any permissions related to resources you connect to through Workbench. If you do not currently have a Google account, you can follow this guide to register your email address with a Google account. Once you have successfully signed in, you will be taken to the Monitor page, which displays a list of past and currently running workflows.
