FRCE Cluster Request Form at Service Now
Access to the cluster is enabled through Active Directory entries. Similarly, groups are also managed by Active Directory. The FRCE admins do not have privileges in Active Directory so all requests to create or modify groups will need to be requested through a Service Now ticket. When requesting that a new group be created, it is imperative that the request include configuring POSIX attributes for the group.
