Most of our hubs use bCourses, for authentication. The hubs not using bCourses are edx, highschool, and workshop.
Authorization¶
Anyone who can log in to bCourses can log into our hubs. This includes all Berkeley affiliates. This means if you have a working berkeley.edu email account, you can most likely log in to our JupyterHubs.
Students have access for 9 months after they graduate. If they have an incomplete, they have 13 months of access instead.
Non-Berkeley affiliates¶
If someone who doesn’t have a berkeley.edu account wants to use the hubs, they need to obtain a CalNet Sponsored Guest account and get added to a bCourses course.
bCourses and Groups¶
bCourses knows which courses that students and course staff are affiliated with, as well as which ad hoc groups that people have been assigned to by course staff. This information is communicated to the hubs when people login, which can be useful for elevating the privileges of some users or granting additional computing resources to others.
Troubleshooting¶
Please contact us if you can log in to bCourses but not to any of the JupyterHubs.
Please contact bCourses support if you can not log in to bCourses.
