VO Manager

The VO Manager has the following rights and responsibilities:

  1. to maintain the list of people belonging to his/her VO (by adding/removing them from a list on the VO directory)
  2. to add or delete new ``groups'' within the VO. For example, the ``biology'' VO might have two groups: ``imageproc'' and ``bioinformatics''. The ``lhcb'' VO might have ``trigger'', ``outertracker'', and ``prodsim'' groups.
  3. to specify the Administrator(s) for each group within the VO.
There is are only two restrictions on who can be a VO Manager:

  1. the VO Manager needs to be entered into the directory by the Database Manager, and
  2. there can initially only be one VO Manager.
VO Managers should not share their passwords with others. There is a possibility that a VO could be munged by having multiple copies of the manager doing administration in parallel. If experience proves that the restriction of a single VO Manager is problematic, the Database Managers can assign additional VO Managers.
