How to create a Fermilab services account

This looks annoying but it takes 5 min. Go to

https://fermi.service-now.com/new_acct_request.do

then you will see a bunch of drop-down menus.

  1. Affiliation: most important one, find “Snowmass” just above Fermilab organizations and choose that.
  2. First Name, Last Name, etc.
  3. Professional Class, pick one
  4. joint appointee, probably not. You know if you are.
  5. home institution, probably there, “other” is at the bottom
  6. answer the questions about badges, IDs, etc. Unless you plan to be on site for an extended time you can say no. If you want one, ask for it.
  7. contact information: put me, rhbobAtfnalDOTgov, x2035
  8. institution point of contact: your dean, dept head, etc. This is for emergencies.
  9. emergency contact: ditto, family/friends/etc
  10. basic computer security training: look at the slides, which tell you basic things everyone should know. About a minute.
  11. security question
  12. get a services account password from the service desk at the number they give. You will need this for getting into FNAL dbases. It also gives you a fnal.gov email address if you ever want to use one.

I will then get emails to approve you. If I'm not fast enough you will get emails about training, but I can turn those off – for Snowmass related work you are now done.
