FAQ¶
There are more Indico services around. Why this one?¶
This service, like all other Helmholtz Cloud Services is a community service dedicated to be used by Helmholtz centers, their users and collaboration partners. With its open and federated login (via Helmholtz ID) it allows barrier-free cross-organisational collaboration.
I already have an Indico account elsewhere. Can I log in with it?¶
No - Log in is accomplished via Helmholtz ID, which is unrelated. See here how this works. In short: Click “Log in”, select your organisation (or ORCID/Github/Google), and log in. Done.
I want to create an event in (sub-) category XY. But I have no write access. Help!¶
All categories shall be managed by the respective sub-communities, not centrally by HIFIS. So:
- Check if the desired category already has managers (listed on the right). Contact them in the first place to let you create your event.
- If there are no managers, or they do not respond, contact us.
- If you cannot find the appropriate category at all, contact us as well. We’ll try to find a solution without blowing up the structure too much.
So, HIFIS are the guys that provide the Indico, or …?¶
HIFIS is much more: We are a Helmholtz-wide digital cooperation platform that creates, brokers and bundles digital services for Helmholtz and external partners, particularly for scientific users. That is, HIFIS:
- builds the Helmholtz Cloud, providing a large number of cloud services - including Indico;
- provides technical infrastructure, know-how (education, training, consulting) and community building for good research software engineering.
