This user guide uses ‘portal’ to refer to the interface across all of the available Oni portals (see Available Portals for more details).
Some collections require that you log in either to access, or apply for access, to the data. This can be done by selecting Login from the top menu bar.

You will be taken to the CILogon page which:
- provides details of the Consent to Attribute Release
- allows you to select an identity provider.
CILogon facilitates secure access to cyber infrastructure (CI). In order to use the CILogon Service, you must first select an identity provider. An identity provider is an organisation where you have an account and can log in to gain access to online services.
Note that the identity provider defaults to ORCID but this can be changed to your preferred authentication. If you are a faculty, staff or student member of a university or college, please select that for your identity provider. If your school is not listed, please contact help@cilogon.org, and they will try to add your school in the future. You can also select your ORCID, Google, GitHub or Microsoft account to authenticate for the CILogon Service.
For further details about CILogon and the identity providers it supports, see CILogon FAQ.
