1. To create a new Special Purpose Account (SPA), visit idc.berkeley.edu/spa. Only UCB employees can create SPAs.

2. Once your SPA is created, open an incognito browser window and login with your SPA credentials, following this format:

For example, if your CalNet ID is "janedoe", you would enter: +janedoe

Passphrase: Enter your personal CalNet ID passphrase
