By default, each IDAS research user gets up to 100 GB for storage in their home directory. The user can use their IDAS home directory to store datasets, scripts, and other files. For more information, please see File Storage in IDAS.
Users can choose to connect to their Argon home directory, their LSS share(s), and/or their IHDR data enclave share in their IDAS session.

Please note the following about student access:
Students enrolled in the course will automatically be given access to an IDAS instance created specifically for that course. Instructors need not submit a list of students.
Access to the course instance will be automatically adjusted for students who add or drop the course after the semester has started.
Students do not need to request individual IDAS research accounts unless they want access to the IDAS research instance to work on their own research.
If a course has multiple sections taught by different instructors, each instructor will need to fill out a separate Workflow form to request IDAS for the section(s) that they teach.
Access to the IDAS course instance lasts for the duration of the semester. At the end of each semester, we routinely deprovision (remove) old course instances in order to prepare resources for a new semester. Please download any data, codes, and files from your IDAS class account to your computer before your course instance is deprovisioned. For more information, please see Class Accounts at the End of the Semester.
The following resources are available to a course. Instructors can view and request these resources when they fill out the Workflow form above to request IDAS for their course.
