ERDA Setup

Click the person icon at the bottom left corner of ERDA to open Setup. Via Setup you can configure effective access, backup to ERDA, and 2-factor authentication.

Due to the increase in automated attacks online, we recommend increasing the security around your login by setting up 2-factor authentication for all access to your ERDA account. We walk through how to complete setup below.

2-factor authentication

Open Setup in ERDA and click the 2-Factor Auth banner. Click Okay, let's go to start. A guide will pop up in ERDA.

  • Open Microsoft Authenticator, AU's standard app for 2-factor authentication, on your mobile.
  • Click Scan your personal QR code in ERDA. A QR code will pop up. 
  • Click Legitimisation information at the bottom right of the Microsoft Authenticator and then Scan a QR code. Point your phone's camera  at the screen to scan the QR code.
  • Click Done importing in ERDA.

Your app can now generate 6-digit one-time codes. Find them on the Microsoft Authenticator front page, under Aarhus University.

  • ERDA will now ask you to verify that the 2-factor authentication has been configured correctly.
  • Click Verify in ERDA. A pop up window will ask for a numeric code.
  • Enter the code from your app and click Verify.
  • Enable 2-factor authentication for all access
  • Click Save 2-Factor Auth Settings in ERDA.

If the confirmation is unsuccesful, contact your local IT-support for help.

Logout

When you are done working in ERDA, we recommend logging out. It is especially important to log out if you share a computer with others.

Click Sign Out at the bottom of the user menu and Yes to log out.
