DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Under the overall guidance of the Head of Data and Information Management Division (H/DIM) and the direct supervision of the Lead, WIS 2.0 Unit (L/R), the incumbent will perform the following duties related to the WIS2 in a box software (https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2box ):
(1) Develop an Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution for WIS2 in a box

d. Apply ruleset to required wis2box service endpoints (UI, API, monitoring);

f. Ensure access control data can be persistent in the case of software upgrades;
g. Ensure the solution works in an HTTPS environment and HTTP for testing;
h.

(2) Develop user and reference documentation for the IAM solution implemented
a. Update wis2box documentation with instructions for access control management;
b. Update wis2box training documentation with exercises to setup and demonstrate access control;
