LabArchives Brief Planned Downtime Affecting Login Access

January 1, 2022 6:00 pm to 6:10 pm

For SOME LabArchives users in the US, the LabArchives login server will be unavailable for a brief update on January 1, 2022, starting at 6PM Eastern, and ending at 6:10 PM Eastern.

This update will only affect users who attempt to sign in with the MGB single sign-on during the update. Users who are already signed in will not be affected.

Note: If you do not currently log into LabArchives via MGB single sign-on, please upgrade to use the MGB license - you are not in compliance with the MGB LabArchives policy unless you are using this license. 

To upgrade your license: 

  1. Click here for Mass General Brigham single sign-on for LabArchives. 
  2. Log in with your MGB login ID, as usual
  3. On the page that appears choose "I have an existing LabArchives account already"
  4. Enter the email address and password that you previously used to Login to LabArchives  Note: this MUST be the same email address
  5. Click "Link existing account"
  6. Click "Yes" when asked "Do you want to link this existing LabArchives account with your login credentials?"

This will convert your unlicensed LabArchives account to the Mass General Brigham license, and connect it to your single sign-on. You will gain storage space, and be granted access to sample notebooks and the Mass General Brigham Community Notebook.
