+# New access policy for external users (from inria)
+
+Inria has decided in june 2020, for security matters and due to spams, to disable account creation for non-inria users.
+External users can have access to this gitlab but with a sponsorship system managed by the IS department (DSI in french) and hosted here https://external-account.inria.fr/.
+This means that an Inria member must create an account through this portal to let external members get an account.
+This sponsorship should be renewed every year.
