## How to get badge access to a room/building?&#x20;

* Depends on the room/building&#x20;
* In all cases, make sure you have the badge # or a clear picture of the badge that needs access &#x20;
  * The long string of characters on the blue strip of the badge is the important part&#x20;
* For 30 Bee – need to do MRI safety class first&#x20;
  * If you’ve already done MRI safety but lost access for some reason (badge error, etc), email <cbi@musc.edu> and explain the situation and request access again. Jimmy/Scott/Tom should be able to tell you what to do from there&#x20;
* For 135 Cannon (any room) - email Dean Braddy from public safety and request access&#x20;
  * This building is controlled by MUHA so you have to go through their security to get access&#x20;
  * <psaccess@musc.edu>&#x20;
* For other buildings (IOP, BEB, etc), you will need to determine who controls the building&#x20;
  * You can do this by emailing or calling campus public saftey&#x20;
  * [843-792-2261](tel:18437922261;)&#x20;
  * <https://muschealth.org/patients-visitors/safety> &#x20;
  * Public safety should be able to either give you access to the room/building or tell you who you need to contact to get it&#x20;

## How do I get access to the BRIDGE lab email (<bridgelab@musc.edu>)?&#x20;

* Someone who already has permission to access the address will have to call the MUSC IT Helpdesk and request that new individuals be granted access to the mail box – they will need to have the new person’s name and NetID&#x20;

## How do I get access to online lab accounts?

* They are also stored in a doc on the vdrive in the helpern\_share folder, though it requires special permission to access.

## How do I get access to a file or folder on the vdrive?

* Before any access is granted for data that has PHI, you need to have IRB approval
* If you are cleared to view the files and folders in question, ask the lab Sys Admin to grant you access to the files or folders&#x20;
* The actual permission granting access has to be done by an admin via logging into the vdrive through a remote access software (such as Microsoft Remote Desktop) with an admin account and adjusting user or group permissions, depending on need&#x20;

## How do I find info that no one in the lab knows how to find or accomplish a task no one knows how to do?

* If it is MUSC-related info/task:&#x20;
  * Try to determine the department that is relevant – the neuroscience front office, public safety, HR, accounting, etc&#x20;
    * Google “MUSC \[department]”&#x20;
      * Go to that department’s website and find their “Contact us” page&#x20;
        * Email or call the main email/phone number or find the title of the individual that seems most related to your query and email that person&#x20;
          * Explain the situation from a broad perspective, ask if they can help, and ask if they can point you to someone who can help if they cannot&#x20;
* If it is non-MUSC related:&#x20;
  * Google it&#x20;
  * Use the Troubleshooting guide in the same folder this doc is in for guidance&#x20;

## My computer is doing X, how do I fix it?

* Close and reopen the malfunctioning software&#x20;
* If the problem is with the computer in general and/or step 1 does not work, restart the computer&#x20;
* See [Effective Troubleshooting](https://bridge-lab.gitbook.io/docs/tech/effective-troubleshooting).
* Worst case scenario: call or email MUSC IT or use the [IT service portal](https://musc.service-now.com/sp).
* Also keep in mind: it could be a problem that neither you nor anyone in the lab can solve. It could be something that requires intervention by the manufacturer. Also, sometimes problems resolve themselves – it never hurts to just walk away for a few hours or check back on the issue the next morning if you can.
