To have access rights to a service account granted to multiple people, the service account owner must create a group in the https://groups.epfl.ch application and add the people to whom he wants to delegate access rights in this group.

He must then request the delegation by sending a message to [email protected] mentioning the name of the group and the name of the service account.
