Organizer Access

The RDMC platform includes specialized features for organizers, including the Artifact Details Question and RDMC Question to create question for artifact or RDMC. This guide explains how to obtain organizer access to use these options.

Note

Organizer features are restricted to users who need to create their own artifact details and RDMC questions. Regular users can create and manage their own RDMCs without organizer access.

Prerequisites

The first name, last name, and email you provide must exactly match your Cloud ID credentials. Any mismatch will prevent the organizer access from working properly.
