XSEDE Capability Delivery Plan for "SGW-07: Retrieve user specific information using user credentials"

Use Case SGW-07: Retrieve user specific information using user credentials

Area: Community Building

Executive Summary: An application or science gateway (hereafter referred to as the “application”) needs to retrieve non-public, user-specific information from a remote service. For example, to help a researcher manage his/her HPC jobs, an application needs to retrieve the researcher’s current job status information (which is private). As a second example, to help a researcher customize his/her user profile, an application needs to retrieve the researcher’s profile, which may contain private fields.

Globus Auth yes Provides the ability for the user to authenticate using XSEDE-­accepted credentials (including federated identity providers) to the application and to the remote service before granting the application access to the remote service on the user's behalf.
Information Services yes Is the remote service that provides an API for accessing user specific information, like the user jobs running on XSEDE resources and user profile information.
Service Provider Batch Processing Services no An example of a service where that produces user information that is accessible thru the remote service.
