BALSA HCP-YA AWS S3 credential generation error

[Hamza Malik]

Dear HCP Support Team,

I am trying to obtain AWS S3 access credentials through BALSA for the HCP-Young Adult dataset. I have already accepted the HCP-YA Data Use Terms, but I receive the error “Something went wrong” immediately after clicking “Get/Reset AWS S3 Access.”

My intended data is resting-state fMRI for subject 106001. I would appreciate your help determining whether this is an account-permission issue or a problem with the AWS credential-generation system.

Could you please advise me on how to resolve this?

Thank you. 

[Elam, Jennifer]

Hi Hamza,

AWS requires your username to not have any spaces within it (yours has two). We recommend registering for another BALSA account and agreeing to the HCP-YA terms then trying to get AWS credentials with that account. 

Best,

Jenn
