User Authentication and Authorization. The EM uses Cork [3] as library in order to handle the user authentication and authorization on the northbound API. The Experiment Manager exposes a dashboard for the users, which directly invokes the REST API. Depending on the type of user (admin, portal or experimenter) he can access different parts of the dashboard. Among other things, admin users have access to the creation and deletion of users (as shown in section 2.3.1.2) and has an overview of the registered users and managers. Experimenter users can only see the experimenter site where they have the possibility to reserve resources by uploading experiments and to deploy and remove them. The dashboard sends requests to the EM’s REST API, which exposes functions for all of the previously mentioned use cases.
User Authentication and Authorization. It will be possible to define users of the offload servicer and their permissions (add/remove/view offload task list) through the NiceVision Administrator application.
