Getting Started

Accessing the System

DSS is a web application. Access it via your browser at the URL provided by your institution.

For the LCSB instance: https://datasubmission.lcsb.uni.lu

Logging In

OIDC / Institutional login (production): Click Sign in and authenticate with your institutional account via the OIDC provider (e.g. Keycloak). On your first login, you will be prompted to complete a short registration form.

Local login (development / demo): Use one of the built-in demo accounts:

Email Password Role
steward1@uni.lu steward1 Admin (Data Steward)
submitter1@some.edu submitter1 Data Provider
submitter2@some.edu submitter2 Data Provider

Starting a Submission

Submissions are initiated by a Data Steward, not by the submitter directly.

  1. Contact your Data Steward to open a new submission.
  2. The steward creates a submission, assigns you as a Submitter, and sets a recipient project.
  3. You will receive an email notification with a link to the submission.

See Managing Submissions for a full walkthrough of each phase.


Running a Local Development Instance

If you want to run DSS locally for development or evaluation, see the Development Guide.
