Visitors/Collaborators

Visitors to and collaborators associated with research groups may have access to Condor provided they have been registered by the Principal Investigator/an Academic Sponsor with Human Resources at the University of Manchester.

Faculty/School administration teams can advise on how to do this. Please note: the Research Infrastructure team cannot register your visitor with H.R. The sponsoring academic must do this through their school.

Please start this process as soon as possible to ensure that everything is in place in plenty of time. The HR system feeds into the IT user database and automatically generates a University IT Username. Visitors/collaborators must complete IT Sign Up before their username can registered within Condor.

Extensions to user accounts

Your University IT Username will automatically expire at the end of your course or contract. If you have a requirement to continue accessing Condor (and other IT systems) then your Principal Investigator/supervisor must arrange with their local administration team to have your HR/student record extended for an appropriate period of time. When that has been done, the IT user database will be automatically updated and you will be able to log in to Condor.
