SlideRule Provisioning System (SPS) Version 2

Authentication¶

User authentication will rely on GitHub which means a user must perform a social login using their GitHub account to use the provisioning system. There will be two authentication levels for users:

• Anonymous

• GitHub User

Authorization¶

There are four levels of authorization that will determine which functions a user is allowed to perform:

• Anonymous

• Member (of an organization)

• Owner (of an organization)

• Staff

Organization¶

The primary purpose of the provisioning system is to manage the deployment of resources for an organization. Each organization has the following attributes:

• List of owners

• List of members

• Cluster configuration

• Server version

• Minimum and maximum nodes

• Availability zone

• Public vs. private

• Capacity requests

Note the following have been removed:

• Auto-destroy and auto-deploy are now always enabled
