Identity & Access Management for the National Research Data Infrastructure - IAM4NFDI
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is concerned with the processes, policies and technologies for managing digital identities and their access rights to specific resources. Providing IAM as a basic serivce, IAM4NFDI is funded by Base4NFDI.
The task of the Basic Service IAM is to establish and provide a state-of-the-art AAI, that fosters cross-consortial and international collaboration.
A central goal of IAM4NFDI is therefore enable unified access to data, software, and compute resources, as well as sovereign data exchange and collaborative work for all NFDI consortia, as well as compatible initiatives. In order to achieve this, an extended version of the AARC Blueprint Architecture will be implemented an provided as a service to interested NFDI consortia.
This will enable researchers from different domains and institutions to access digital resources within and beyond NFDI. Users from approx. 400 German research and higher education institutions plus approx. 4800 home organisations worldwide will be able to access services and resources provided by the NFDI Community AAI. Also google, github, or ORCID accounts are enabled to access specific parts of the provided services.
All tools and solutions developed within IAM4NFDI are compatible with standards and the AARC Recommendations.
