New User Information

In order to access any of the equipment of services of the nanoFAB you must first become a registered user. To become a registered user you will create an account in our LMACS (Laboratory Management & Access Control System) system. You will become very familiar with this system as you work in the nanoFAB and it is mentioned often in the pages of this knowledge base. 

Step-by-step guide

The registration process is broken up into three steps: 

  1. Account Creation

    1. Point your browser to the LMACS homepage (admin.nanofab.ualberta.ca)
    2. Click Register. A pop-up will appear similar to the one pictured here.
    3. Fill in all of the appropriate information. Submit the form

    4. Once the form has been successfully completed, the new account will be created and you will be sent an email with a confirmation link. The confirmation link will be valid for 24 hrs. If the link is not clicked within that time period, you will have to start from the beginning.

  2. Account Activation

    1. Check your email and click the activation link. This will take you to a web page where you will continue the registration process.
    2. Read and agree to the terms and conditions for User access. 
    3. Click Activate Account

    4. Once you agree to the terms and click Activate Account, your account will switch to “Active” in LMACS. This will generate another email which will provide you with your username and temporary password.

  3. Account Configuration

Before proceeding - ensure that you know the name of the group, and default project that you wish to join. You will need this information for the following step.

    1. Click the LMACS Login link in the email. This will take you to a page where you can complete the registration. First change your temporary password.

    2. Select Default Group & Project. Enter the name of your supervisor, or company in the first field. Enter the name of the default project that you will be added to in the next field. If you don't know this information - you will need to obtain it from your supervisor.
