Access Authorization

After your written application for general access to IT services you will receive a user account. This includes access to the internet, access to resources at the MPI für Kohlenforschung and an e-mail account. In general, you will also receive access to the local file and print services.

When you leave our institute, your data and account will remain active for 2 months. After that time, your account will be deleted. If you need your account and data for a longer time, you must file an application for the extension of this period. Please note that the use of our network and computing facilities is subject to the policies and regulations normally issued to all employees of the Institute.

Administration and support of the access control system including electronic administration of ID cards is also part of this service.
