 ====== First Time Users ======
+For first time users, it is important to be aware of some general requirements:
-This page provides a brief summary of the basic requirements to help you get started with using the RDMS.
+  * 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]].
-  * 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]]. An account will be automatically created upon their first login. Please [[rdms-support@rug.nl| contact us]] if other UG accounts, for example functional accounts (F-number) need access.
-  * All users can access the Defaults Zone.
+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.
-  * For archiving sensitive research data in the RDMS , users must store their data in the Sensitive Data Zone. To access this zone, users should first contact [[rdms-support@rug.nl| rdms-support@rug.nl]] to request access.
+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]].
-  * **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 in to the system with an IP-address from the UG. On the UG premises, Eduroam or wired internet connection will give you an internal IP-address. 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]].
-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 portal]] for management of permissions and metadata. Or, you can use the [[rdms:access:linux:icommands|command line interface]] (CLI) for both tasks.
