Infrastructure team

This page details who carries what responsibility as far as SciPost’s underlying online infrastructure is concerned.

Keyholders

Keyholders by definition possess all the credentials necessary to access, run and maintain all elements of SciPost’s infrastructure, in particular:

  • servers

  • databases

  • mailboxes

Keyholders are also trusted with credentials for all necessary external services used by our infrastructure.

The set of keyholders is as small as possible to ensure security, and as large as necessary to guarantee perennial availability of our services.

Our major, long-term sponsors can nominate one or more of their staff members to be Keyholders.

Current Keyholders:

Deployment Team

Members of the Deployment Team are responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and running of all of SciPost’s online infrastructure, including bug fixes and issues tracking.

By necessity, all Deployment Team members are keyholders (the inverse is not necessarily true).
