Integrate SRAM with Lean Library Workspace

SURF Research Access Management (SRAM) is a service to manage access to research resources, intended for Dutch led research collaborations. It takes away the hassle to create and manage user accounts for different applications.

Researchers (and others) often waste time and get frustrated, arranging access to resources they need to access when collaborating in research projects. As employers, institutions want to provide secure and convenient access, so their researchers can maximize their research output.

SRAM enables institutions to provide this fast and secure access. As soon as the institution connects their identity provider (an application that stores and manages digital identities) to SRAM, researchers can use their institutional account to sign in to research applications connected to SRAM. Research collaborations and research applications have more assurance about the identity of the researcher, and are better able to both allow and block access based on this information.
