4. What happens after I complete the pIE application form?

As you start the process of obtaining an account, you will receive a series of emails signifying what status your account is in:

  • Submitted state: Once you complete the pIE application form your account is placed in a "submitted state".
  • Approved state: Your pIE account will be "approved" once your S/AAA receives the required training certificates from you for DoD Information Assurance Awareness training, Phishing Awareness Training, and Portable Electronic Devices/Storage media.
  • Inactive state: Your account will then be sent to the AFRL DSRC for processing of your Kerberos Principal and SecurID card. AFRL will mail you a SecurID card or hToken in an "inactive" state and wait for you to confirm receiving the items.
  • Active state: Your AFRL account will be "activated" once AFRL receives a Visit Request from your security office and you send the Section III to AFRL. Your ARL DSRC account will be activated once your security office sends ARL security office a visit request.

Getting assigned to projects:
Once you are "active" in pIE, your PI can enter you into the projects and systems you requested. In pIE, your PI will assign you a project on specific HPC machines. You will not need to do anything here other than to ensure that the PI performs this assignment.
