1. Get a NetID
   If they do not already have a University NetID, they must get one at  Rutgers Guest Request System. There is a link for the guest to make a request and fill in the necessary information. If you sponsor someone, an email will be sent to you for approval. For department guests, the department office will often do this process for you. It would be best if you asked the main office for this.
2. Add NetID to Your Login group
   Once your guest has a NetID, you should go to the Group and Guest management and add that NetID to your group.  See Using the Group Management Tool section below to learn how.
3. Access for iLab Cluster?
   If you created a loginable group for your machines, access is only given to machines in your group by default. If your guest needs access to iLab resources, ensure your group allows members of the group access to iLab clusters.
   
4. Tell the user to Activate the CS iLab Account
   If you gave them access to the iLab cluster, before a user can use iLab resources,  activation is required 
5. Create a CS Password
   CS systems use the NetID to log in but with a separate CS password. if they forgot or don’t already have one, please  Set/Reset/Create a Computer Science password 

Please note that to simplify the cleanup process, there is a yearly review requirement where the group owner must review group membership. At this time,

1. the sponsor is emailed asking for a yearly review.
2. A second message is sent if there is no response for two weeks.
3. After two more weeks, with no response, a third message is sent, and the group is suspended.
4. Once suspended, group members will get a warning email that their account on the cluster specified in the group will be closed within 30 days. In addition, on a specialized system, members can no longer log in.

To start managing your users and groups. You need to log in with your NetID and CS Password.

Depending on what groups you already own, once you log in, you may be presented with a list of groups you own. Shown below are example Groups.
