Benefits of a CBIF shell account
A CBIF shell account allows you to log into the systems and make use of our software resources. Without this access your use of CBIF will be limited to the resources we make available on this web site.

Process of creating a CBIF shell account
Simply requesting a CBIF shell account does not actually create one. First, we must review your request and authorize it. Typically, this will occur within a day or two of your request. You should expect to receive an email message indicating that you have been authorized for a CBIF shell account. Once you receive this, you may log into the systems and start to make use of their resources.
Accessing CBIF resources
Once you have received a CBIF shell account you are free to access our resources. Please note, however, that your use is bound by the CBIF usage policy and that we retain the right to terminate any account at any time. Please use CBIF with respect. For more detailed information on how to make effective use of CBIF resources, please consult our user guides.
