User Account Removal Policy

This policy covers both the removal of user accounts for the previous fiscal year (1 October through 30 September) and of user accounts during the course of the current fiscal year when deemed necessary by Security, an S/AAA, or the Accounts Center.

(The AFRL DSRC Accounts Center is responsible for the management of user accounts created for the AFRL DSRC.)

In order to get an AFRL DSRC account, users need to have completed the following:

Submitted completed NAC/Clearance information to the AFRL DSRC Facilities Security Officer (FSO).
Submitted an application for a current fiscal year for a project that has been validated by the High Performance Computing Modernization Office (HPCMO), and on which the HPCMO has specified systems and hours.

Projects and allocations are sent by the HPCMO to the DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs) and Affiliated Resource Centers (ARCs) in mid-summer of the year preceding a new fiscal year. Applications from qualified users, approved and sent by S/AAAs), begin to be received by the DSRCs and ARCs immediately afterward for the upcoming fiscal year.

All user accounts are required to be renewed on a fiscal year basis. At the beginning of a new fiscal year, all previous fiscal year user accounts that have not been renewed for the current fiscal year, will be placed in a disabled state. This disabling of a user account will start a countdown of 90 days. If after those 90 days, no applications have been received for the new fiscal year, then the disabled user accounts will be changed to removed status. After 90 days, if no applications have been received for the new fiscal year, then these accounts will automatically be removed. All files associated with these user accounts will be moved to an archive storage area for a period of two years. After two years, these removed user account files will be deleted. Returning users whose user accounts and files were removed under these procedures, must go through the application procedures to establish a user account through an S/AAA and must request in writing to have their removed files restored. Deleted files cannot be restored.

During the fiscal year, the above procedures will be used for existing user accounts when required.

If you have any questions concerning this policy, please contact the CCAC Accounts Center at: 1-877-CCAC-039 (1-877-222-2039) or via email at accounts@ccac.hpc.mil.
