Managing Argonne Collaborator Accounts

Extend or Reactivate Collaborator Accounts

If an account is set to expire soon:

• Users: Contact your Argonne sponsor to request an extension.
• Argonne Sponsors: Have your division HR representative update the end date in Workday and ensure the job profile is "Outside Collaborator."

If an account has already expired:

• Users: Re-register at Argonne Collaborator Registration page using your existing username to retain access to previous data.
• Argonne Sponsors: Invite the collaborator to re-register via Cyber Gate Pass, and ensure they use their original username for continuity.

Transitioning to an External Collaborator:

• Apply for an Argonne Collaborator account using your sponsor's Argonne email address after your appointment ends.
