User registration and registration validation process • User must register in order to get one login • Online request form to provide the necessary information • User agrees with the “SeaDataNet User Licence” which is part of the SeaDataNet Data Policy • User request form is forwarded to the SeaDataNet data centre of the country of the user • The national data centre must evaluate the request and effectuate the user registration, thereby giving ‘user role(s)’ • The ‘user roles’ are decisive for the authorisation process • After registration, the user will receive his/her login -password by email (email check) • So a Central User Register, but with decentralized management
