Sign in or register
Use the Access area to authenticate with local credentials or with the identity route available in your environment. The screenshots show local sign-in, ORCID, and academic routes as examples. The exact provider list may vary between deployments, but the user-facing logic is stable: choose the route that matches your existing identity, authenticate, and then return to HORTUS with the permissions attached to that account.text/html2026-04-07T13:29:16+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)first_session

What changes after sign-in
* Your avatar menu opens My Workspace, Public Profile, account settings, and issue-related entry points.
* The header exposes notifications, messaging, favourites, and other personal tools.
* If you have contributor rights, creation actions can become visible in Marketplace, Projects, Events, News, and metadata areas.text/html2026-04-08T09:15:29+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)public_access

IMPORTANT: How publication works in HORTUS
HORTUS is a moderated platform.
This is one of its defining features and one of the reasons it differs from generic storage or social tools. Users can prepare resources, project content, metadata formats, and other items, but publication may require moderation or validation before the record becomes visible in the appropriate discovery surface. The logic is structured so that quality, metadata completeness, permissions, and consistency can be checked …text/html2026-04-07T13:27:15+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)role_activation

Role activation after registration
Important: registration alone does NOT unlock contributor features.
HORTUS separates account creation from role activation so that platform administrators can assign the appropriate permissions. This matters because many actions — such as creating a new resource, publishing a project page, submitting metadata, or moderating a queue — depend on the role attached to your identity rather than on sign-in alone.
