|
||
In this section you'll learn how to access the Whole Tale platform: | ||
|
||
Questions: | ||
* How do I access Whole Tale? | ||
* What am I authorizing Whole Tale to do? | ||
|
||
Objectives: | ||
* Learn how to login to Whole Tale using your institutional credentials | ||
* Learn about Globus Authentication and how it is used in Whole Tale | ||
|
||
## Introduction | ||
|
||
Review the Whole Tale [Terms of Use](https://wholetale.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tos/). | ||
|
||
Whole Tale enables researchers to login using credentials from hundreds of research institutions and organizations worldwide as well as ORCID and Google accounts. | ||
|
||
## What is Globus and Globus Auth? | ||
|
||
Globus is a research data management service used by researchers at hundreds of research institutions based at the University of Chicago. Globus is a popular tool for transferring data in high-performance computing environments. | ||
|
||
Globus Auth is one service provided by Globus that makes it easy for developers of research gateways, such as Whole Tale, to enable researchers to access services. | ||
|
||
## Activity: Signing in to Whole Tale | ||
|
||
Go to https://dashboard.wholetale.org and select "Access Whole Tale": | ||

|
||
A note about what you are authorizing: | ||
* Know who you are (your name) | ||
* Know some details about you (your profile in Globus) | ||
* Transfer files via Globus (We can initiate transfers on your behalf to Whole Tale) | ||
* Know your email address | ||
* View your identities in Globus auth (if you have merged identities) | ||
|
||
## Activity: Managing your consents | ||
|
||
You can always rescind this consent by accessing the Globus Dashboard. | ||
* Go to https://app.globus.org | ||
* Select Account > Consents > Manage Your Consents | ||
* Select "X" next to Whole Tale | ||
|
||
You can always authorize Whole Tale again later. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Key Points: | ||
* Whole Tale uses Globus Auth to allow researchers to login using their institutional credentials | ||
* You are authorizing Whole Tale to access information about you stored in Globus, but Whole Tale will never see your password | ||
* Globus Auth also allows Whole Tale to transfer data from Globus endpoints to Whole Tale on your behalf | ||
* You can always rescind your consent |
