The repository has features that allow users to easily edit files, and efficiently collaborate on the same project from any location. The software chosen is “Nextcloud”, an open source platform that offers a variety of collaboration features and a wide user and support base.

The proposed authentication solution was based on SAML 2.0 protocol which INGENIUM partners already use to access services by other providers (e.g. Erasmus+ eduGAIN/GEANT). It should also be mentioned that the University of Crete IT staff has extended experience on managing and operating Nextcloud installations and also implementing and supporting the authentication and authorization proposed solution.
