Portal login

Authorized ACCESS users can log in using the Web Portal:

To learn more about the Web Portal, please visit the Portal kb page for additional information.

(Note: the above video talks about the ACES cluster, which is not part of Launch, but the process described is the same for both.) Launch-specific videos will be available soon.

Direct ssh login is currently not available for Launch. Please login through the portal.

Please note that Launch is not listed as an ACCESS Resource. Currently, you do not need to request an ACCESS Allocation to use Launch.
