Perhaps using the test one at RAL will meet my needs. I want to
understand the difference between roles, groups, and capabilities and
how those are attached to files, resource access rights, running jobs,
and proxy certificates. I want to understand what capabilities regular
users have to manipulate/control these things, and also what control is
available to running jobs and "grid services".
The documentation I had found so far (old EDG stuff) only gave me a hint
as to many of these things, so I was hoping to try out an actual
implementation. Looking at the expanded gLite docs, though, it may be
that the 120+ pages of PDF will answer my questions. Thanks for the
pointer to that.
Cheers,
Ian
