Then, choose an authentication service. It is important to note that the email address you use here needs to be one linked to your CVL@MASSIVE or M3 account. We require our users to use their institutional email addresses and you may see errors with other email providers (specifically personal emails). If you don’t already have an account, please refer to the instructions at: https://www.cvl.org.au/cvl-desktop/getting-started-with-the-cvl and particularly, the instructions under “Connecting to a CVL@M3 desktop”.

Once you have logged in you will be taken to your account summary page which shows information about your projects and account. In the tables you can see your storage usage and quota, with areas requiring attention highlighted in red. If you are over quota, your desktop jobs will not run properly, or may not start at all.
