Configuration of norway.fair-wizard instance

This quick-start-guide lists steps in configuring a FAIR Wizard or DSW instance to achieve a similar configuration as the instance norway.fair-wizard.com. The page aims to support colleagues who are starting to use the tool and wish to set similar configuration settings to our instance.

FAIR Wizard is the software-as-a-service version of the Open Source DMP tool Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW).. In addition to the Data Management Planner (which equals DSW), FAIR Wizard contains the module Admin Center, Integration Hub, and Analytics.
The detailed user guide is available under https://guide.fair-wizard.com/en/production/.

Integrations

A few preparations are necessary to use some of the integrations in the Norwegian DSW Knowledge Model.

Institutional resources

To keep the resources compatible with Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW), we have chosen to maintain the list of institutional policies and resources outside of the FAIR Wizard Integration Hub. This allows updating or adding policies without touching the Knowledge Model. We are currently using a json-file in a GitHub repository, which is planned to be replaced by an integration. To propose changes, make a pull request or get in touch.

FAIR sharing

The FAIR sharing integration requires an API key

  • User guide
  • Create API key: 1) Register FAIRsharing account. 2) Generate ApiKey with base64 in command line: echo -n 'username:password' | base64
  • Data Management Planner > Knowledge Models > Secrets: Set values for ‘fairsharingApiKey’ and ‘fairsharingApiUrl’

User management and test users

User guide

  • Default user role should be ‘Researcher’
    • Admin Center > System
  • It can be useful to create dummy users to be able to test out different roles
    • Admin Center > Users: Invite button, create dummy user. If using a dummy email address, one can set a passphrase for the test user after creating the user.
