| To stage and retrieve project-related data in the LTA which are __**proprietary**__ you need to have an account in [[https://lofar.astron.nl/mom3|MoM]] that is enabled for the archive and coupled with the projects of interest. To this aim you can request SDCO to be added to the list of co-authors of the project. When you send such a request, you must add the project's PI in cc. After SDCO adds you to the project, you might get an email asking you to set a new password in [[https://webportal.astron.nl/pwm/private/Login|ASTRON Web Applications Password Self Service]].
