## 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).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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).
