# Requesting Merlin Accounts
## Requesting Access to Merlin6
Access to Merlin6 is regulated by a PSI user's account being a member of the **`svc-cluster_merlin6`** group. Access to this group will also grant access to older generations of Merlin (`merlin5`).
Requesting **Merlin6** access *has to be done* with the corresponding **[Request Linux Group Membership](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp?id=psi_new_sc_cat_item&sys_id=84f2c0c81b04f110679febd9bb4bcbb1)** form, available in the [PSI Service Now Service Catalog](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp).
![Example: Requesting access to Merlin6](../../images/Access/01-request-merlin6-membership.png)
Mandatory customizable fields are the following:
* **`Order Access for user`**, which defaults to the logged in user. However, requesting access for another user it's also possible.
* **`Request membership for group`**, for Merlin6 the **`svc-cluster_merlin6`** must be selected.
* **`Justification`**, please add here a short justification why access to Merlin6 is necessary.
Once submitted, the Merlin responsible will approve the request as soon as possible (within the next few hours on working days). Once the request is approved, *it may take up to 30 minutes to get the account fully configured*.
## Requesting Access to Merlin5
Access to Merlin5 is regulated by a PSI user's account being a member of the **`svc-cluster_merlin5`** group. Access to this group does not grant access to newer generations of Merlin (`merlin6`, `gmerlin6`, and future ones).
Requesting **Merlin5** access *has to be done* with the corresponding **[Request Linux Group Membership](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp?id=psi_new_sc_cat_item&sys_id=84f2c0c81b04f110679febd9bb4bcbb1)** form, available in the [PSI Service Now Service Catalog](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp).

Mandatory customizable fields are the following:
