New R&S Service Providers

The LIGO Wiki, and the Open Science Data Cloud Console join the list of service providers approved for the Research & Scholarship (R&S) category. R&S allows participating identity providers to release a minimal set of attributes to an entire group of approved services, rather than negotiating attribute release one-by-one. You can learn more about the program, and see a list of identity providers supporting R&S and service providers that have been approved.
