Accounts for Individuals without an SMU ID or Sponsored ID

  1. The sponsor must request an SMU ID or Sponsored ID and have that account activated before sponsor can request ManeFrame II (M2) access for the individual. Please submit an Account Request via the Online Service Center.

  2. Once the individual’s SMU ID or Sponsored ID has been created and activated the sponsor can request an ManeFrame II (M2) account for the individual via the New Account Form.

Reset Account Password

ManeFrame II uses SMU’s authentication system, which means that your username and password are based on your SMU credentials. Your username is the first part of your SMU email address, i.e. janeuser for janeuser@smu.edu, and your password is your SMU password. SMU’s password tool can be used to change or reset your password (https://pwreset.smu.edu). However, note that this changes your password for all SMU services such as email as well.

Terminate an Existing Account

Please send a request to the SMU HPC Admins with a short explanation of reason for the termination.

Account and Account Password Sharing Policy

No two individuals should share the same ManeFrame II account, nor should two individuals share the password of the same account. Each individual is entitled to have their own account hence please request one.
