Editing the VO Layout
The VO layout characterises the arrangement of the VO graphical user interface. In particular, it specifies how the user interface main constituents, i.e. the portlets, are arranged in tabs, sub-tabs, rows and columns.
To create this layout, the VO Administrator should use the Layout Generator, a user friendly interface through which
- tabs and sub-tabs can be created, and
- portlets can be placed in the area identified by sub-tab;
Information on how to use the Layout Generator are available here
Editing the VO Information Space
The Information Space must be edited at least once in order to have the VO properly configured. This action registers the ScenarioCollectionInfo resource in the IS, needed for a proper exploitation of the Search capabilities. Such a resource drives the Collection Tree panel in the Search Area of the Portal.
Managing VO Users
As described in VO configuration, a new group in VOMS from the VOMS-Admin interface with the same name of the VO has been created as sub-group of the infrastructure's group. Moreover, at least one authorized user has been also configured to have the right of VO-Admin.
VOMS interface
The following picture shows the home page of the VOMS-Admin interface:
By clicking on the VO Management link, the management area is open. It lists by default all the registered users' identities:
On the left side, there is a menu allowing to manage the 4 key-points of the VO:
- Users
- Groups
- Roles
- Attributes
VOMS groups
By clicking on the "Groups" item, the groups belonging the current infrastructure's group are listed:
The VO group must be among them.
VOMS roles
By clicking on the "Roles" item of the left menu, the roles belonging the current infrastructure's group are listed:
Besides the VO-Admin role (already assigned), the VRE-Designer VRE-Manager role must be assigned to the appropriate identities within the VO group. This will give them the ability of creating and managing VREs by exploiting the VO resources.
The definition and association from Roles and Users have to be done through the Roles' Management and the Users' Management portlets. In order to access these portlets, the right of VO-Admin must be owned.
Monitoring the VO through the Information System
All the resources belonging a VO are registered in the Information System and they can be monitored through the gCube Monitoring System. In particular, there are three type of resources of major interest in a VO: the so-called infrastructural resources. They are:
- gCube Hosting Node (gHN)
- Service
- Running Instance (RI)
