Assumes a PI and employee, where the employee is leaving UAB but still needs to function as a collaborator. Assumes the PI has shared storage.

1. Have the PI start the XIAS account create process documented here, acting as the sponsor: https://docs.rc.uab.edu/account_management/xias/.
2. The collaborator can take this time to transfer any needed data from the personal storage to the PI's shared storage. We recommend putting it in an obvious, but secure, location to make it easy to remember how to find it. Ideally, the data would be incorporated into the lab's data management plan. This step is only necessary if the data is needed in the future for lab operations. If the data is not necessary, then please delete it to conserve space. Before deleting data, check with the PI!
3. When the XIAS account is ready, log in to Cheaha to get the account created on Cheaha. This must be done before the next steps.
4. Have the PI send a request (support@listserv.uab.edu) to get the XIAS account added to the shared storage.
5. Finally, move the data back from shared storage to the XIAS account personal storage, if needed.
