LATN uses a server called “Jupiter” for all our files.  This includes all your personal work files , all study data, subject information, recruiting tools, IRB protocols and everything else LATN-related.  Jupiter is in the MIC data center and is managed by the MIC-IT team, which consists of Chrissy Bonello and Jesse Baer.

Your Jupiter account and password are totally independent from your Partners User ID and password.  It should have been set up for you before you arrived, but if you haven’t received the confirmation email you should let Dave know.

1. You’ll receive the email when your account is created, with instructions for how to access your account.
2. Your Jupiter account name will normally consist of your first initial and your last name. A password will be assigned for you, and you should change it as soon as you can.  Instructions for this should be included in the email your received, but the “Jupiter_Server_Setup_Instructions” document in  common/Admin/RA_Training_Modules folder has instructions for changing the password.
3. Those instructions also explain how to “Map a Network Drive” so you can access Jupiter easily from your PC or Mac.
4. You will have your own folder on Jupiter (your ‘’home” directory). You must keep all your work files in this folder, and not on your desktop PC or Mac, for two reasons.  First the files will be accessible from any other computer when you’re not in your office; and second, the files on your desktop will not be backed up, so you will lose them if anything happens to the computer.
5. You will also have access to certain shared directories based on your job and the projects you are working on. If you need additional access, contact Dave.

Security Requirement: Only you can use your account. Every lab member must have an individual account on Jupiter. You must use only your own account, and you must not share your account with anyone else.  If you are using a shared computer such as a countertop PC, you must map your network drives using your own account or else you won’t have access to the right directories. Then you must Log Off at the end of every Windows session to close your drive mappings properly, otherwise the next user can get access to your files.
