This project enhances research collaboration at Vassar College through the implementation of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. The IAM supports access to and security of distributed scientific research efforts and other applications with broader impacts. Vassar researchers are actively engaged in collaborative intra- and extramural multidisciplinary research, and these projects regularly collect and exchange data with research collaborators and teams at other institutions in Virtual Organizations (VOs). Vassar College researchers were previously challenged to create and manage the identities, groups and permissions crucial to these VOs, and the largely manual nature of the processes required to create and administer a research project was becoming an impediment to the actual research itself.The IAM 1) provides an automated system that provides centralized management of science research VOs in support of distributed science research; 2) enhances inter-institutional research collaboration allowing researchers to use their campus login to access resources at partner institutions; 3) positions researchers to leverage external resources for greater science research collaboration such as Internet2 and other Research and Education (R&E) Networks and 4) enables wider use of existing directory services by an array of science research tools.

该项目通过实施身份和访问管理 (IAM) 系统来加强瓦萨学院的研究合作。 IAM 支持分布式科学研究工作和其他具有更广泛影响的应用程序的访问和安全。瓦萨研究人员积极参与校内和校外多学科协作研究，这些项目定期与虚拟组织 (VO) 中其他机构的研究合作者和团队收集数据并交换数据。 瓦萨学院的研究人员之前面临的挑战是创建和管理对这些 VO 至关重要的身份、组和权限，而创建和管理研究项目所需流程的大部分手动性质正在成为实际研究本身的障碍。 IAM 1) 提供了一个自动化系统，可以对科学研究 VO 进行集中管理，以支持分布式科学研究； 2) 加强机构间的研究合作，使研究人员能够使用校园登录来访问合作机构的资源； 3) 使研究人员能够利用外部资源进行更大的科学研究合作，例如 Internet2 和其他研究与教育 (R&E) 网络，4) 通过一系列科学研究工具更广泛地使用现有的目录服务。
