To create an OpenAthens account for Third Iron Support to use during testing, you'll be using their Add - Personal account process (full documentation linked here).
In OpenAthens Admin navigate to Accounts > Add > Personal account to get started.
(Step 1) Login:
Due to Third Iron having access to its own OpenAthens instance for testing and administrative purposes, we are unable to use any @thirdiron.com email for OpenAthens test accounts with other libraries. Instead, please create a personal account using the username/password option.
- Set a username (ex. tisupport)
- Leave the "Login by email address" box UN-checked
- Set an expiration date.
- For the last set of options next to "Create account and" we recommend selecting Specify a password now. Set a password and please note these credentials to send to support.
- Click Next.
(Step 2) Details:
- First name(s): Third Iron
- Last name: Support
- Email address: support@thirdiron.com
- Click Next.
(Step 3) Optional Details: You can skip this step or add optional details as desired. Click Next.
(Step 4) Permission sets:
- Please select from the list provided for your institution (the default permission set is generally recommended unless you'd like help with troubleshooting another set of permissions specifically).
- Click Create account and then let support know the login details.
- Be sure to include the default OpenAthens prefix that precedes the username (login will not work without the prefix intact)
Send the account details to support@thirdiron.com
