Polished Policies for the NFDI-AAI - The IAM4NFDI Policy Framework | Version 1.0

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is one key technology for enabling users to access a large variety of resources provided by different infrastructures. For this, users make use of their Home Organisation, i.e. a university, research institute, or social media account. This is only possible with a small portion of common sense and regulation regarding the operation and security of these infrastructures. As for the NFDI-AAI, these are captured in a set of policies and templates. The guidelinesand documents summarised in this framework address different levels and aspects of Identity and Access Management and are based on internationally established standards and guidelines. Experience of the past two decades has helped to continuously improve them. Detailed explanation is available in the AARC Policy Development Kit.

This talk provides a brief overview of the structure and the components of the NFDI-AAI Policy Framework, as well as its relevance for the different roles and functions within a research infrastructure.
