To preserve your current user settings and user corpora, please take the following steps:

Make all users with existing (individual, non-SSO) accounts login to Sketch Engine through SSO to create their new SSO-based accounts.
Send a request to support@sketchengine.eu, providing a mapping of old user names to the new (SSO-based) user names and ask to merge them.

The ELEXIS contact person

does not need to be an IT person or possess any specific IT skills
will serve as the main contact point between Sketch Engine and the institution
will be in charge of quota allocation requests

Quota allocation

In addition to access to preloaded corpora, Sketch Engine allows users to build their own corpora for which users will need storage space (quota). Each user is automatically allocated a quota of 1 million words. In addition, each institution receives a shared space of 1 billion words. If a user runs out of space or needs to build a large corpus, they can request extra space from the ELEXIS contact person who will assign additional quota from the shared 1 billion-word allocation.
