SURF Research Access Management (SRAM) is a service to manage access to research resources, intended for Dutch led research collaborations. It takes away the hassle to create and manage user accounts for different services. Read the introduction on SRAM on SURF.nl.
Explained in two minutes
For researchers and research collaborations, properly arranging and managing access to research services (for example creating accounts or disabling them) often takes a lot of time and resources; something that could rather be spent on doing actual research. SRAM provides research collaborations with fast, easy, and secure access.
Conceptual overview
SRAM builds upon many well established and proven building blocks for identity management and research, uses international (open) standards where possible (like the ones from AARC), and consists of SURF-developed components as well as a flavour of GEANT eduTEAMS.
