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, Marco Malavolti 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.
