Hi dev, A new feature that we are working on with the future release of Airavata is its sharing service - the ability of a user to create groups within the gateway in order to share their experiments and projects. This is the work proposed in Supun's paper that was presented at the PEARC17 conference earlier this month. The current status is that the back-end work for managing groups within gateways is done. We need to introduce an interface for users and admins to create and manage the groups through the Airavata PGA.
We need to start by including management of user level groups and then eventually move on to domain level groups. The methods would basically include - create group, update group, check if group exists, get group by group ID with inclusion of more methods which retrieve user groups based o some search criteria. The combination of group ID and domain ID while group creation acts as primary key. Let us know if anyone has any specific concerns or suggestions for the sharing service. Regards, *Sneha Tilak*
