Thanks for creating an issue, @WGTAFGOV meet quarterly to priorise issues. Please use the link below to follow the status of your issue.
@colinpmillar this links to on going work on developint the ICES user store API
Topic will be discussed during WGRDBESGOV annual meeting in Dec 2021. WKRATIO worked within TAF which could provide useful feedback/examples on RDBES-style repos.
@davidcurrie2001 , do we need a quick meeting about this Dave?
Does this relate to #23 Generally about group permissions and management?
From Jens: Check how this is implemented for the ACOM access and see if we can use the same technical implementation. Cecilia will follow this up.
The user roles for RDBES are not final. For now, there are 3 (Upload, Delete and Download) with one user for each country.
Hi @cekv - this doesn't just relate to users uploading/downloading data to the RDBES but to how users will be able to create Intercatch-like estimates from that data using TAF repos. The roles that are thought to be required are outlined on page 10 of the 2018 WKRDB-URS report - summarised below:
It will be a requirement of the RDBES stock estimation that a stock estimate is produced, as well as national estimates for that stock – however national estimates for a country do not necessarily have to be produced by a user from that country. The following RDBES user roles were thought to be required for producing stock estimates within the RDBES (note that a single person can hold multiple roles at the same time): Data viewer: Can view and export data and estimation scripts for the specific stock area. Estimator: Can create and run scripts to create national stock estimates for a specific country and stock area. Stock coordinator: Can create and run scripts to produce stock estimates for a specific stock.
The question is whether the Estimator and Stock Coordinator roles proposed fit with TAF. The long-delayed "WKRDB-RAISE&TAF" workshop now has chairs agreed so should take place later this year - this workshop will start to look at the process of using RDBES data to create stock estimates for use in assessment. The question of user roles should be re-visited in the run-up to the workshop.
This topic was discussed during the WKRDBES-RAISE&TAF workshop in September and a proposal on RDBES TAF repo structure, user roles and permissions was made. A testing group will follow up on these proposals to check they will work in practice.
This needs much more description, but here it is anyway. THis is a database to store outputs from a TAF project/repository. It allows for flexible object definitions and lots of metadata to aid with searching and authorizing.
An example of a token (a straw token) for example in the RDBES context:
So i think using this structure, the user roles in RDBES are fully compatible with TAF
RDBES/TAF user roles and the new intermediate TAF storage database will be tested and discussed next week (2nd - 6th Oct 2023) during the WKRDBESRaiseTAF2 workshop.
Check that the proposed RDBES user roles will actually work within TAF
