7. Some INFN services

8. Users database
There is the necessity of an administrative user database to be used to manage all organizational aspects.
These kind of database has been already created at LNF for INFN personnel and is actually used by 3400 users (staff and associated staff)
The plan is to insert in the DB also the organizational structure of big experiments like SuperB
Integration with LDAP and using it also for authorization

9. Description of structure
This is for example what we have done for INFN Administration description

10. This is for example what we have done for INFN roles assignments
Assignments of roles
This is for example what we have done for INFN roles assignments

11. User registration database
The SuperB collaboration members will be registered in the same
INFN user database structure

12. Web sites http://www.pi.infn.it/SuperB
We’ll try to converge them in a SuperB portal for a single access to all services

13. Summary
Several collaborative tools foreseen or already installed in different sites need to be centralized.
Some INFN central web services can be used for this purpose
Only one authentication and authorization infrastructure AAI can be used for all the SuperB collaborative tools.
Some FTE needs to develop and maintain these tools in collaboration with INFN web services
