This page describes the available login methods, and what to expect as EWC moves toward a fully integrated identity experience. It provides a clear overview of how users authenticate to services within the European Weather Cloud (EWC).

User Access
...
EWC introduced a unified identity system based on EWC IAM. All EWC services will be accessible with the same user credentials in the future. EWC IAM can federate with other existing IAMs as well (e.g. ECMWF IAM, EUMETSAT User Portal) . While we transition to the use of EWC IAM, some services might still support local accounts. You can check the table below for more detailstherefore you will be able to use those once enabled for a certain service.
A local account is a username and password stored within a single EWC service, managed independently by that service. An EWC IAM user authenticates through the central identity system using institutional credentials and gains unified access across IAM‑enabled EWC services.
The table below summarizes the steps to login, depending on the user account you are going to use.

Tenancy name is the input to start with EWC IAM! You need to know the name of your tenancy (ask your tenant admin if you are not sure) When you log in to an EWC service using IAM Single Sign-On, your browser keeps your session active. If you need to access another tenancy, you must log out of the service first before logging in again. (Not all services support logging out of IAM. Alternatively, you can open the service in another browser or use a private/incognito window to avoid session conflicts.) |
