A Collaborator account is a sponsored provisional account for non-UMIACS members that provides access to UMIACS applications such as GitLab, Object Storage, and MediaWiki instances. Collaborator accounts do not provide login access to UMIACS computers or access to networked file storage.

Access to your group's resources is mediated through Security Groups, which can be managed in our UMIACS Directory Application.
