This page proposes a draft process for granting of data access rights to LSST users according to the Data Access White Paper (Doc-53733) and recent discussions: Data Access Rights and Data Access Rights and Policies and Notes on Assigning Data Rights for US Astronomers.
A LSST Data Access Policy Working Group has been formed and a document drafted, LPM-261.
The goals for the process are:
...
- national "professional astronomical community" (US, Chile, ) (possibly France?)
- when US community members submit a proposal to the Observatory Resource Allocation Committee for Level Elevation (ORACLE), do all proposal participants need to already have data rights or can the proposal process grant data rights?
- named individuals from international partners
- a limited number of designated additional individuals (post-docs, grad students) per named individual
Granting data rights based on campus attributes:
...
- For example, if user's home campus doesn't have an InCommon (Shibboleth) identity provider
- User clicks "apply for data access rights" button
- LSST review:
- automated based on (verified) email address?
- .edu TLD is "U.S.-accredited educational institutions" with some grandfathered exceptions
- .cl TLD open to anyone
- check campus directory info
- automated based on (verified) email address?
...
- Periodic (annual) re-validation of "designated additional individuals"
- de-provisioning of data rights?
- "Once a scientist has data access, they don't lose it even if they change institutional affiliations."
- faculty change of institution: leaving USA
- what happens when student graduates?
