Enable your UI
In order for you to access the grid you need an account on a UserInterface.
The UserInterface is the user's "door" to the grid. Once you've got an account on a UI you can login and submit you jobs from your home directory on the UserInterface.
You've got three possibilities to access a UI:
- Install an UserInterface through yaim on a dedicated PC
- Identify an existing UserInterface and ask for an account on it
- Use the GENIUS portal
Install an UI through yaim
Installation through yaim is suggested if you want to set up a node of the Grid with all the Grid elements (CE, SE, WN, UI). This is a task typically reserved to a site manager.
Please refer to the Installation section.
Ask for an account
If you work in one this sites, you ask for an account to a UI server to the site manager:

Use GENIUS portal
The GENIUS portal (https://genius.ct.infn.it/) is a web portal jointly developed by INFN and Nice srl within the INFN Grid Project. It is based on the Enginframe grid portal framework. GENIUS will be also the default portal for generic applications in EGEE.
In order to access the Grid through GENIUS, ask for an account on the UI's already equipped with the portal (see list above) or install it on your own UI.
A recent presentation on GENIUS functionalities can be found here while a video (even if not very recent) can be found there.
