# CKAN Login Guide

This source provides instructions for accessing the CKAN research data management system at the Universität Greifswald.

## Authentication Process
Users authenticate using their [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]] via the following workflow:
1. Click the **Login** button in CKAN.
2. Select the **Universität Greifswald** as the ID provider.
3. Authenticate through the [[shibboleth]] system.
4. Redirect back to the CKAN platform.

## First-Time Login
A critical operational detail for new users is the **institutional assignment** process. Upon the first login, the system requires several minutes to assign the user to their respective institute. This assignment is mandatory for the user to be granted permissions to create datasets.

## Access and Support
- **Permissions**: After login, users can view all datasets for which they have explicit read permissions.
- **Support**: Technical issues are managed by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via:
    - The [[groupware]]-based ticket system.
    - The URZ hotline (extension 1420).
