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

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
