+=====Adding other people's ssh keys to your account=====
 This allows CHPC staff to assist users --- submit jobs, log in to running compute nodes, inspect results.
 You should **never** ask for someone else's password, or give your password to anyone else.
+====Convenience scripts to add a staff member's SSH key====
+The scripts are there for convenience to add or remove a staff member's SSH key into or
+from your .ssh/authorized_keys file to allow access to your home directory for assistance.
+Use the staff member's login id (username, e.g. **charles**) to select that person.
+  add_staff_sshkey.sh  staffmember
+  delete_staff_sshkey.sh  staffmember
+  list_staff_sshkey.sh
+The staff member will be able to see any and all of your files and will be able to
+submit jobs as your user. It's not necessary to provide your password to staff.
+===== ONLY in case the above scripts don't work ====
