Robot accounts

As described at Account Mapping page, the HPC functional robot accounts (Internal Accounts) need to be created for each HPC project/HEAppE user group team and configured in HEAppE.

Robot accounts are depersonalized accounts created for automated tasks and operations rather than specific users. These accounts have specific permissions and access rights that allow them to work within the project directory on the HPC and manage HPC jobs.

For proper deployment, the user needs HPC robot accounts from the HPC center where the HEAppE middleware will be deployed. This step is important due to the generation and storage of SSH keys for connection to the HPC cluster.

HEAppE Middleware also supports the creation of HPC functional robot accounts via the REST API. The REST API is described in the HEAppE Management API documentation page.
