The goal of the Groups Management project is to evolve and extend NYU IT’s central group management platform, enabling wide use of self-service and official Univ-wide groups, shared across systems and applications.
Through this project, faculty, students, and staff will have the ability to create and manage collaborations and shared materials in support of their research, projects, and other activities.
Key desired capabilities include support for user-managed groups, automated provisioning and deprovisioning, administrative functions, and dissemination of standardized approaches and policies for integrating group data with many types of applications and storage systems. For DRSR, this means that researchers will be able to create and self manage groups to enable sharing files and data set.
