Use Case SGW-07: Retrieve user specific information using user credentials
Area: Community BuildingExecutive 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.
