Josh, I'm just curious: how are the msub users managed? When we request access, do we have to also specify the usernames we would like to have access with? Is it going to be a single user for institution? In case several users are allowed, can they manage their password somehow?
I know we briefly talked about it before, but these questions occurred to me now that we are about to create our own UVigo's msub.
