Obtaining a CNRS account
Your CNRS account is created by the CNRS administrative services once your contract has been validated.
A notification is sent to the email address you provided during the administrative procedures. Please also check your spam folder.
Until you receive this notification, your CNRS account has not yet been created and cannot be activated. You must wait until you receive it.
Activating your CNRS email account
Once your CNRS account has been created, email activation must be coordinated with the unit's IT department. Please contact the unit's IT support.
You will receive an email at the address provided during the administrative procedures, containing a link valid for 2 hours to activate your email account.
Once activated, your CNRS email account will be operational.
- CNRS email address: firstname.lastname@cnrs.fr
- Webmail access: https://webmail.cnrs.fr
- Username: firstname.lastname@ods.services
The password is the one you set when activating your account.
You can update your CNRS email account security information at any time through the dedicated portal:
Janus account
Creating a Janus account is required to access all CNRS IT services.
The email address you registered with the CNRS is used as your Janus username, probably your amU email address. However, your CNRS Janus account is separate from your amU account and has its own password.
You can also reset your CNRS Janus password at sesame.cnrs.fr.
CNRS digital services portal
Once activated, your Janus account provides access to CNRS digital services through the Magellan portal:
