Manage PI Group

Manage MSI Group

To manage your MSI group at this time, you will need to access the legacy MSI site. Instructions for managing your group are provided below.

  1. Point your browser at https://www-archive.msi.umn.edu/pi
  2. On the page, if it says “Log into MSI” in the upper right, follow that link and login. You will need to be on the UMN campus, or in via VPN. If you are already logged in, proceed to step 3.
  3. When logged in and on the PI page, navigate to the PI group you wish to manage.
  4. Here you will be able to add or remove collaborators, request more storage, review who is using your storage, etc. – as you always have done.

If you have questions about how to manage your MSI group, please get in touch with the MSI Helpdesk.
