lsst.ts.authorize¶
Overview¶
A CSC that manages the authorization lists for CSCs.
Authorization lists control who can control a CSC, to reduce the danger of people from interfering with each other. Authorization lists are cooperative; they only work if everybody plays by the rules.
Warning
authorization lists are not safe; they provide no protection of people or equipment!.
The Authorize CSC manages requests to authorize users or unauthorize CSCs. For now all authorization requests are granted. A future update of the CSC will send authorization requests to the LOVE system for operator approval.
