Logging into Workbench

Overview

Workbench uses Passport, DNAstack's digital identity management system, to handle user authentication and permissions. Passport is specifically designed for federated research environments where data is distributed across multiple locations and organizations.

Authentication Requirements

Workbench authentication is currently handled through Google Single-Sign-On (SSO). You'll need a Google account to access the platform, regardless of which cloud platforms or engines you plan to use. This login is separate from any accounts used for cloud resource access.

Don't have a Google account? You can register your existing email address with Google using their account creation guide.

Login Process

To access Workbench:

1. Go to workbench.omics.ai

2. Click "Log in with Passport"

3. Select "Sign in with Google"

4. Choose your Google account when prompted

After successful authentication, you'll land on the Monitor page, where you can view your workflows and their status.
