Distributed Research utilising Advanced Computing (DiRAC) is an integrated set of high-performance computing facilities supporting theoretical research in particle physics, astrophysics and nuclear physics, which is using computer simulation to obtain a deeper understanding of standard models, to seek signals of new physics by confronting them with experiment and observation, and to develop new models that provide better descriptions of nature. The integration and smooth operation and monitoring of this distributed facility is role of the Technical Working Group (TWG). Services the TWG must provide include a unified Systems Administration Framework, giving a single web presence for the acquisitionof user accounts, management of project membership, generation of usage reports, help desk and so on.Central to this is a single DiRAC-ID given to each user, and this is also used to give accessto community web pages documenting the DiRAC systems and enabling the research communities to perform their research.This work to enable integration, operation and efficient utilisation of all DiRAC facilities by RAC-selected projects will be carried out according to priorities set by the DiRAC Technical Working Group.
