Next: VO Group Administrator
Up: The Roles of Managers
Previous: Database Manager
The VO Manager has the following rights and responsibilities:
- to maintain the list of people belonging to his/her VO (by adding/removing them
from a list on the VO directory)
- 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.
- to specify the Administrator(s) for each group within the VO.
There is are only two restrictions on who can be a VO Manager:
- the VO Manager needs to be entered into the directory by the Database Manager,
and
- 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.
