ApplicationResource

Application Resources are authentication groups that allow us to mix and match onsite users (those with full UMIACS accounts) with offsite users (people at other institutions) when controlling access to a variety of applications.

This allows users of these ApplicationResources to mix both UMIACS users and off-site users that do not necessarily have a UMIACS account.

The services that utilize this for now are,

• Subversion repos
• Wikis
• Web servers maintained by staff that require fine-grained authentication and authorization

Our users can modify and update Application Resource membership using the ApplicationResourceUtil located here.
