A knowledge base article about Instructions for Registering P4 Workstations in Socreg provided by the UC Berkeley IT Service Hub - Knowledge Portal
Requirement
P4 workstations must be registered as Protected Data (PD) Applications in Socreg. This requirement applies to:
- Workstations that store P4 Institutional Information.
- Workstations used to connect to P4 systems or services IF the user's credentials provide access to P4 Institutional Information in that system/service.
- Workstations used to administer P4 systems or services.
Process
To register a large number of P4 workstations, please contact socreg@berkeley.edu for assistance. Otherwise, select one of the following options based on your current Socreg configuration.
Option 1: Add a P4 workstation to an existing P4 Protected Data Application
- Log into Socreg (if you are off-campus, you must use the campus VPN).
- Select the PD Applications tab on the left sidebar.
- Select the name of the P4 PD Application to which you want to add the workstation.
- Note: Confirm that the Security Contact is associated with the correct department for the workstation. If not, select a different PD Application.
- Review the Quantity Level in the application information box. If adding workstations increases the number of stored or accessed records, update the range (< 500, 500 - 5000, or > 5000).

- MAC address: Enter the MAC address associated with the primary network connection (wired or Wi-Fi).
