In all cases, IT4Innovations’ access mechanisms are aimed at distributing computational resources while taking into account the development and application of supercomputing methods and their benefits and usefulness for society. The applicants are expected to submit a proposal. In the proposal, the applicants **apply for a particular amount of core-hours** of computational resources. The requested core-hours should be substantiated by scientific excellence of the proposal, its computational maturity and expected impacts. The allocation decision is based on the scientific, technical, and economic evaluation of the proposal.

## Becoming Primary Investigator
The Primary Investigator (PI) is authorized to use the clusters by the decision issued by the Allocation Committee. The PI will be informed by IT4I about the Allocation Committee decision.
## Authorize Collaborators for Your Project
As a PI, you can approve or deny users' requests to join your project.
### Authorization by Web
This is a preferred method if you have an IT4I or e-INFRA CZ account.
Log in to the [IT4I SCS portal][e] using IT4I credentials and go to the **Authorization Requests** section. Here you can authorize collaborators for your project.
### Authorization by Email (An Alternative Approach)
In order to authorize a Collaborator to utilize the allocated resources, the PI should contact the [IT4I support][f] (email: [support\[at\]it4i.cz][g]) and provide the following information:
1. Identify their project by project ID.
1. Provide a list of people, including themself, who are authorized to use the resources allocated to the project. The list must include the full name, email and affiliation. If collaborators' login access already exists in the IT4I systems, provide their usernames as well.
1. Include "Authorization to IT4Innovations" into the subject line.
!!! warning
Should the above information be provided by email, the email **must be** digitally signed. Read more on [digital signatures][2] below.
Example (except the subject line which must be in English, you may use Czech or Slovak language for communication with us):
```console
Subject: Authorization to IT4Innovations
Dear support,
Please include my collaborators to project OPEN-0-0.
John Smith, john.smith@myemail.com, Department of Chemistry, MIT, US
Jonas Johansson, jjohansson@otheremail.se, Department of Physics, RIT, Sweden
Luisa Fibonacci, lf@emailitalia.it, Department of Mathematics, National Research Council, Italy
Thank you,
PI
(Digitally signed)
```
!!! note
Web-based email interfaces cannot be used for secure communication; external application, such as Thunderbird or Outlook must be used. This way, your new credentials will be visible only in applications that have access to your certificate.
### Process Flow Chart
This chart describes the process of obtaining login credentials on the clusters. You may skip the tasks that you have already done. Some of the tasks, marked with asterisk (\*), are clickable and will take you to a more detailed description.
