Getting Access to a Drive

  • After being granted access to a drive, you must restart your computer before mapping a drive to it.
    If you are denied access to a drive, please restart your computer and try mapping it again.

  • Authorizers can grant access to users via the Permissions Manager.
    Authorizers do not automatically have access, but they can grant access to themselves.

  • The Permissions Manager can be accessed here: https://dp.research.cchmc.org/.

  • Instructions on how to use Permissions Manager are here: https://confluence.research.cchmc.org/x/dgNcAw.


  1. Right-click This PC on your desktop and select Map Network Drive. You can also right-click This PC in File Explorer or select Map Network Drive from the File Explorer "Computer" menu:

  2. The Map Network Drive window should appear. For the Drive field, select the letter you want to assign to the network folder you are mapping. In the Folder field, type or paste the address of the folder you would like to assign to the drive letter. Example:\\bmiisi.chmcres.cchmc.org\SHARE_NAME.

  4. Check the box to "Connect using different credentials” and then click the Finish button.

  5. In the “Windows Security” window enter your User ID with the "chmcres\" prefix, then your password, and click the OK button. In this example, Jdoe2 is used for the user ID, so "chmcres\Jdoe2" is entered.

    You must format your User ID as "chmcres\userid"

    You must check the box to "Connect using different credentials" and your User ID must be formatted as "chmcres\userid", where "userid" is your CCHMC User ID.
