Projects at OSC should be reviewed, at least annually, and OSC staff should be kept up to date on any data with special restrictions being stored at OSC.
Project annual review
Projects at OSC are required to be reviewed annually. This check will be for making sure that only accounts which need to use the project are members of the project, and that all users with admin roles still need that role. Furthermore, it is for checking that the project has an appropriate special property for the data being stored.
You will be prompted upon log in at MyOSC to verify. This will occur 365 days after your last project verification.
If you'd like to verify early, you can do so from the Project Details > Project Users. Now you are on the Manage Project Users table and there is a button to "Verify Project Members and Admins."
Please contact OSC Help if a special property needs added/removed to a project.
Projects with special data
If a project is storing data that has special restrictions on whom can access that data, then OSC staff should be made aware of this.
The project may be categorized as a protected data project, or the special restrictions could be simpler and just require permissions to be kept reasonably secure (e.g. NIH genomic data policy).
In both cases, the project should be labeled with a special property to explicitly show that data with special restrictions are being stored.
Please contact OSC Help if a special property needs added/removed to a project.
