- Users affiliated with the host institution. TDL-hosted repositories are integrated with campus authentication systems via Shibboleth. Any user with campus credentials can log in to the repository, and as soon as they do, an E-Person is created for that user. That E-Person account does not necessarily have any special privileges associated with their account automatically, but once they have logged in one time, a Repository Administrator can search for and find their E-Person account and grant privileges to it.
