Hi Jean-Charles,

Here is a request from a user who needs access to the CFHTLS data.
Can you please ensure that the authorization is added to the CFHTLS
survey users list.

Hi,
I registered recently as a CFHTLS user to access Legacy Survey data
(registration approved on July 7th). However, when I try and access the
Legacy Survey T0004 data from the CADC web-page, I'm asked only for my
CADC user-id and password (I registered with CADC some years ago). After
entering my password I only succeed in seeing the list of files without
any possibility to mark them for download.
Could you please have a look at what is wrong in my account?
My CADC user-id is temporin, while the CFHTLS user-id is
sonia.temporin_at_cea.fr
Thanks for your help,
best regards
S. G. Temporin

Hi,  I'm not sure who is responsible for CFHTLS registration so I'm  
emailing all three of you.
On July 1st, in response to the growing number of survey-teams using  
the CADC as an authentication portal, the CADC switched how we  
process survey authentication.  The changes were made to enable  
easier management of survey-team data access and allow external  
management of survey user groups.
For the CFHTLS this means that all management [adding/removing of  
users] should now happen at the survey-team end (for CFHTLS this  
means someone at CFHT), when you (CFHT) decide to provide a new user  
with access.  This means you will now need to request that the new  
user sends you his/her CADC user-id and that you then use the list  
management page at:
http://www.cadc.hia.nrc.gc.ca/accessControl/do/editGroup/members/? 
groupID=22659&prgid_request=Group+Membership
This page can also be found via the 'PI data access' page in the CFHT  
archive area of the CADC www site.
http://www.cadc.hia.nrc.gc.ca/cadcbin/cfht/archive/pi_form.pl
I have made Jean-Charles and Christian managers of list [I would have  
added Kanoa too but he does not have a CADC user account, if you want  
to add a new manager, all you need is to get their CADC account name  
and follow links on the URL for list-management].
Summary:  When you accept a new user to have access to the CFHTLS,  
please request their CADC username [they must register if they don't  
have one (http://www.cadc.hia.nrc.gc.ca/usertools/register/)] and  
then access the page above to add that CADC user to the CFHTLS access  
list.
Currently Maria Polletta from IAP is awaiting access to the CFHTLS  
[CADC user: polletta].  I wonder if one of you could add Maria to the  
list [use the URL for the list management] and tell me if the process  
make sense.  The external management is new and feedback is very  
welcome.
thanks,
JJ
