About SURF Research Access Management

Researchers are increasingly working together: within their own institution, with other institutions or companies, and at home and abroad. Collaborations then want joint secure access to (cloud) applications, computing clusters, datasets or data storage. SURF Research Access Management provides Authentication and Authorisation as a Service for researchers and research supporters. It arranges secure access for web and non-web services, using institutional accounts wherever possible.

Using this service: 3 options

Your institution can use SURF Research Access Management (SRAM) in different ways:

  • allow your researchers to become members (by invitation) of collaborations (by others),
  • as an institution, use SRAM to allow your researchers (or support staff) to create and manage collaborations themselves,
  • connect your own research services to SRAM so that you can give users from your own institution and beyond invitation-based access.
