 ====== First Time Users ======
+For first time users, it is important to be aware of some general requirements:
-All staff of the UG have access to the RDMS, but you need to log in once via the WebApp to create your RDMS account.
+  * All staff and students of the UG with a P- or S-number can access the RDMS via the [[https://research.web.rug.nl/rdmswebapp|web interface]] or via using [[https://wiki.hpc.rug.nl/rdms/access/linux/icommands|iCommands]]. An account will be automatically created upon first login. Please contact [[rdms-support@rug.nl|rdms-support@rug.nl]] if other UG accounts, for example functional accounts (F-number), need access.
+  * All users can access the Default Data Zone.
+  * **Sensitive research data** should be stored in the [[https://wiki.hpc.rug.nl/rdms/solution/multizone|Sensitive Data Zone]] of the RDMS. To access this zone for the first time, users should contact [[rdms-support@rug.nl| rdms-support@rug.nl]] to request access.
+  * **To access the RDMS, make sure you are in the network of the UG!** The RDMS is only accessible from the UG network, meaning that you can only log into the system with an IP address from the UG. On the UG premises, this can be achieved by connecting to Eduroam or through a wired internet connection. On other machines and locations, you need to use a [[https://iris.service.rug.nl/tas/public/ssp/content/detail/service?unid=f4c53f8827c54588b267c5f267367505|VPN connection]].
-https://research.web.rug.nl/rdmswebapp
-**Note** Only UG members with a personnel number (P-number) or student number (S-number) can log in to the RDMS directly. Please [[rdms-support@rug.nl| contact us]] if other UG accounts , for example functional accounts (F-number) need access.
+Now, you are set to start using the RDMS via your choice of platforms and protocols. For example, you can now use [[rdms:access:windows:cyberduck|Cyberduck]] for file management and the [[rdms:webapp:overview|web interface]] for management of permissions and metadata. Or, you can use the [[rdms:access:linux:icommands|command line interface]] (CLI) for both tasks.
-**Make sure you are in the network of the UG!**
+In this wiki, you will find documentation for the setup and use of popular GUI clients like [[rdms:access:windows:cyberduck|Cyberduck]] and [[rdms:access:windows:winscp|WinSCP]] with the RDMS. The [[rdms:access:linux:icommands|usage of the CLI client]], ''iCommands'', is also explained in detail. Other ways of connecting to the RDMS are explained in the pages detailing how to establish a connection to the [[rdms:access:hpc|RDMS from Hábrók HPC]], how to connect to [[rdms:access:lwp|RDMS from LWP]], as well as how to use the [[rdms:access:unishare|RDMS inside Unishare]].
-The RDMS is only accessible from the RUG network, only with an IP-address from the UG you can log in. On UG premises an Eduroam connection will give you an internal IP-address. On other machines/locations, you can use a [[https://iris.service.rug.nl/tas/public/ssp/content/detail/service?unid=f4c53f8827c54588b267c5f267367505|VPN connection]] or the [[https://uwp.rug.nl|virtual Windows]] or [[https://vlwp.rug.nl/|virtual Linux]] environment of the UG.
-After that you are set to start using the RDMS via your choice of platforms and protocols. You could use [[rdms:data:start|WebDAV]] for file management and the [[rdms:webapp:overview|WebApp]] for data management or the [[rdms:access:linux:createprofile|command line interface]] (CLI) for both.
-For first time users of [[rdms:access:windows:cyberduck|Cyberduck]] and [[rdms:access:windows:winscp|WinSCP]] with WebDAV we created two upload manuals with all the screen dumps of the upload process.
