Users from external sites must receive a Guest WUSTL Key and Password.  In order for an external collaborator to receive a guest WUSTL Key, a Wash U "Sponsor" WashU sponsor will need to complete the WUSTL Key Guest Account Request Form.  This form needs to be completed for EVERY external collaborator, not one form per site.  The "Sponsor" sponsor must be the project Principal Investigator (PI).  Once the user has obtained their guest WUSTL Key, they can log in as described in the “User Account Access” section above. See the links below full description of obtaining a Guest WUSTL Key:

Manage and Renew Guest WUSTL Keys

Guest WUSTL Keys are temporary with duration of 1-12 months. To manage or renew, the WashU sponsor of the guest key(s) will need to navigate to the WUSTL Connect page and select Manage Guests. You will be required to log in with your WUSTL Key and Password.

Account De-activation

Accounts will remain active as long as the user is associated with the university or the guest WUSTL Key is active.  Accounts of users departing the university will be suspended when the WUSTL Key and password becomes inactive.  Users who change departments within Washington University do not have their accounts suspended so do not need to create a new account when they begin in the new department.  Please note, a guest WUSTL Key is not tied to an external collaborators institutional account meaning if they leave their current position, the guest WUSTL Key may remain active unless the "Sponsor" of the guest WUSTL Key alerts Wash U IT to deactivate the account.  It is important that you monitor external accounts and remove the user from projects if they are no longer working on the project.
