Converting your Dataverse DEPOSIT Account to use your institutional Log-In

To prevent users from having to remember multiple passwords to Log-In to sites, the Dataverse DEPOSIT site has now been set-up to allow you to Log-In using your Institutional credentials. If you already have a Dataverse account but Log-In using the Username/Email log option and want to convert this to use your Institutional log in details, you can easily do so.

To access this single sign-on capability your Institution must be a member of the Australian Access Federation (AAF) and your Institutional email address must be recorded against your Dataverse DEPOSIT Account.

To see if you can use this feature, navigate to the Dataverse DEPOSIT page at https://deposit.ada.edu.au/ and select the Log-In option in the upper right. Then select the "Your Institution" option. If your Institution is listed, then you will be able to continue. If you need to change your email address to your Institutional email address, please refer to [[the Update Dataverse Account Email Address page.


INFO TO BE UPDATED

Go to the Account Information page to confirm that your account email address is the same as your institutional email address. If not, you will need to update your Dataverse account to make them match. Log out of Dataverse. Go to “Log In” in the upper right corner of Dataverse. Select the “Your Institution” button under the “Other options” header. Using the dropdown menu, select your institution then click the Continue button to go to your institution’s log in page. After you put in your institutional credentials successfully, you will be brought back to Dataverse to confirm your account information. Enter your current password for your Dataverse account and click “Convert Account”. Now you have finished converting your Dataverse account to use your institutional log in.
