ColdFront Overview

ColdFront is our new resource and allocation management tool. It will streamline requests for RCD resources.

With ColdFront, faculty are able to:

  • Request allocation on Palmetto 2 and other RCD resources.
  • Add/remove user access to their requested allocations.
  • Elevate selected users to be Managers, allowing them to handle many of the project owner's tasks (adding/removing users, renewing allocations, updating project information).
  • Provide information such as grants, publications and other reportable data for periodic review by center director to demonstrate the need for the resources.

Accessing ColdFront​

note

Users must be on Clemson's network or VPN to access ColdFront.

To access ColdFront, use https://coldfront.rcd.clemson.edu. There is also a link within our documentation site in the Applications section.

Getting Started​

To get started, faculty should create a project. Projects in ColdFront are containers that allow faculty to organize their resource allocations and personnel.

Once a project is created:

Research projects must be reviewed once a year, confirming that the project description and users are still accurate and updating any publication and grant information.
