Objectives
Within this task we will evaluate the introduction of Grouper for a cross/inter organizational use.
The activities will be brought within the GN3+ activities by Andrea Biancini, ~federated-user-65 and Maria Laura Mantovani from GARR.
Grouper will be used to manage in a centralized way (yet eventually permitting delegation):
- Groups of users
- Authorization attributes for users
Activities overview
The main activities for this subtask will be:
- Better definition of the possibilities for an authorization process within different services and communities.
- Realization of a PoC to prove possible integrations of existing services with Grouper.
- Documentation and dissemination of results achieved.
