# Institutional Assignment

**Institutional Assignment** is a backend process within the [[ckan]] research data management system at the Universität Greifswald that occurs during a user's first authentication.

## Process and Impact
When a user logs in for the first time using their [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]], the system automatically assigns them to their corresponding university institute. This process is not instantaneous; it typically takes several minutes to complete.

## Importance for Dataset Creation
This assignment is a prerequisite for data contribution. Until the institutional assignment is finalized, the user will be unable to create new datasets within the system.

## Verification
Once the process is complete and the user is logged in, they can view datasets for which they have read permissions.
