Getting started with PPMS at the CAM
Create or edit your PPMS profile
If you have any technical issues with your PPMS Stratocore account, please contact
the admin folks at ORI.ppms@msu.edu who have permissions to modify user accounts. You are always welcome to reach out to Andy (maddenan@msu.edu) if you have any questions or need help.
On-campus MSU users: Create a PPMS profile account, then add a financial account
- Log in to the CAM PPMS portal with your MSU email and credentials:
- If your PPMS profile account exists, update any incorrect information. If not, choose 'Account creation request' and enter the required information following the MSU Stratocore user guide.
- Check with your PI/financial administrator about which financial account(s) you want to use for any accumulated charges. Follow the directions in the MSU Stratocore user guide (page 9) to add the financial account to your user profile account.
Off-campus users: Choose 'Account creation request' on our CAM PPMS portal.

For users needing assistance
Once you have both an active PPMS account profile and an active financial account associated with your profile, CAM Staff can start work and make bookings for you. Contact the staff member(s) in the relevant area via email: CAM contact information
For trained users / booking self-use sessions
We will continue using our Google Calendars through July 31st. After that, all instrument reservations (bookings, in PPMS) will be done on our CAM PPMS Stratocore site.

If your equipment user rights have not been assigned yet, then you won't see the equipment on the 'Book' tab. Send us a note and we can provide access in the system.
To update your Time used
Different ways to update your actual time used after your session is complete are found in this document: Adjusting Time Used for PPMS imaging session.
