Request a workshop instance on IDAS
Instructors can request an IDAS instance for their workshop. Only current (active) University of Iowa faculty, staff, and students can log in to the IDAS workshop instance.
1. Fill out the request form at https://workflow.uiowa.edu/form/idas-workshop-request.
2. ITS - Research Services staff will set up an IDAS instance for your workshop and let you know when the instance is ready.
3. You can then add users to your workshop instance using Access Management. Please see details below.
a. Some instructors use Qualtrics surveys to collect HawkIDs of users who sign up for the workshop, so that they can upload the list of HawkIDs to Access Management later.
4. After users have been added to the workshop instance, it will take about 1-2 hours for permissions to propagate through the system.
5. Workshop instances will stay available for 24 hours after the workshop has ended. Data on IDAS are not backed up. Please make sure to download anything you need from IDAS to your personal computer.

2. Under "Services", click on "Interactive Data Analytics Service" and then click on the name of the workshop that you want to edit.

5. In the popup that opens, enter the HawkID, name, or email address of the user you want to add and click the search icon.
