If your organization is not hosting its own submission interface, XRAS provides a default Submit UI hosted at a URL typically of the form https://client-submit.xras.xsede.org, where “client” is replaced with an abbreviation for your entity.
...
The Submit UI can be configured to allow guest users to submit requests. This can be useful if you tend to create local user accounts only after they have an approved allocation. If the user continues as a Guestguest, they will not be able to save partial submissions nor will they have access to previously submitted requests. (See also Reconciling Guest Users.)
Impersonating Users
As an AdminXRAS admin, you can impersonate a user in the XRAS Submit UI. This feature is useful for assisting users with their submissions. You must first log in as yourself, then click on your username at the top right of the page. Enter the username of the user you wish to impersonate and hit return. The impersonated username is now displayed at the top of the page. At this point, you will see exactly what that user sees, including Opportunities opportunities to which the user can submit and their previously submitted allocation requests.
While impersonating a user, you can also complete actions on behalf of the user. You can submit actions (such as an Extension) related to a particular request; edit and submit an incomplete request; or view a summary of an approved request. While you can edit some parts of a completed submission directly from the XRAS Admin interface, you must use the Submit UI to finalize a submission.
...
A user can submit an allocation request by logging into XRAS Submit or by continuing as a Guest guest user.
Start New Submission.Once they have logged in, the user is presented with the “Start New Submission” panel, which shows the list of current open opportunities to which they can submit an allocation request. The user will also see any “Submission Notes” that have been entered for each visible Opportunityopportunity.
After selecting an Opportunityopportunity, the user is presented with the main submission form. If you are using the default XRAS Submit user interface, the required fields are indicated by a red asterisk near the field label or by the section header (Fields fields of Sciencescience, for example). You can define the required fields using the XRAS Admin Rules interface. Required fields are enforced only when the user selects “Submit”; the user is presented with error messages indicating which fields need to be completed. The user can save a partial submission without completing all required fields.
...
Users submit other allocation actions (Extensionsextensions, Transferstransfers, and so on) from this panel. You can control when different action types are permitted via Rulesrules. For example, if your allocations process supports Extensionsextensions, you can restrict submission of an Extension extension action to be allowed only within 30 days of the current allocation period ending.
