A fundamental component of the EMSO ERIC cyber-infrastructure that integrates multiple ocean variables from EMSO ERIC regional facilities is its data management platform. The EMSO data management platform transition to pre-production enabled the deployment of EMSO ERIC data services based on harmonization, widely used specifcations, and FAIR principles. It establishes an appropriate workfow for taking stewardship of every stage of the data lifecycle on an architecture based on robustness and fault tolerance, including redundancy and failover capabilities, scalability, and security. This work presents EMSO ERIC’s authentication and authorization infrastructure, which provides security and accountability and enables personalized services.Peer Reviewe
