STEP 1: Create a project using OCF

Access the OCF portal of your hosting island or the central OCF portal at: https://ocf.fibre.org.br

In the login screen, use as username “login@organization“.

  Only the NOC administrators have authorization to create projects. All users must submit their request and await for approval. So, do not worry with the “Permission Denied” message. Fill the form to request your project.

After that, your project request will be sent to the NOC administrator.

Once your project is approved by the NOC, you will receive an email notifying about the approval.

After your project has been approved, notice that the project is already accessible in your Dashboard.
