Helpful information for installing and running DMPTool for your environment:
DMPTool is a standard database-driven app using Rails v4.x conventions with a few number of dependencies on other tools.
The application is configured and requires OmniAuth to authenticate to LDAP server and/or a Shibboleth IdP. In order to use the tool as is, you must configure with one of these 2 authentication providers.
Configuration files - Required to run the application. There are template versions of this in the repository.
- config/database.yml - contains credential information for your database.
- config/shibboleth.yml - contains information for attributes received from shibboleth
- config/ldap.yml - contains credential information for accessing the LDAP servers
Roles There are 6 roles associated with the application which give access to different areas of functionality of the application.
- DMP Admin - super user role - this user has access to all functionality of the application and all roles.
- Institutional Admin - administrator for a particular institution. Has visibility within a particular institution, assigns roles to users within their institution and maintains institution information. Assumes template and resource editor roles.
- Template editor - user which can create and edit templates
- Resource Editor - user which can create and edit resources for templates providing information specific to their institution.

DMPTool provides 5 main areas of functionality.
- User - user maintains profile information
- Institution - information about a particular institution, logo, shibboleth endpoints (optional), contact info. Maintained by institutional or DMP Admin.
