11 Webshell gives you access to an arvados virtual machine from your browser with no additional setup.
13 In the Arvados Workbench, click on the dropdown menu icon <span class="fa fa-lg fa-user"></span> <span class="caret"></span> in the upper right corner of the top navigation menu to access the user settings menu, and click on the menu item *Virtual machines* to see the list of virtual machines you can access. If you do not have access to any virtual machines, please click on <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Send request for shell access</span> or send an email to "support@curoverse.com":mailto:support@curoverse.com.
15 Each row in the Virtual Machines panel lists the hostname of the VM, along with a <code>Log in as *you*</code> button under the column "Web shell". Clicking on this button will open up a webshell terminal for you in a new browser tab and log you in.
