Description:

Access Description: Projects to which OSN storage is allocated are issued keys used to read and write data in OSN buckets using AWS S3-compatible tools, such as rclone, cyberduck, or the AWS cli. Access keys are valid for the duration of the project's allocation. A web interface is provided at https://portal.osn.xsede.org for allocated project users to manage and browse their storage.

Sensitive Data: Allocated projects are responsible for all access keys, data protections and encryption required for their data stored on OSN resources.
