Prerequisites

• Understanding of Five Safes TES System Architecture.

Overview

This is the entry point for a researcher. Approved researchers can submit tasks to a Project by interacting with the user interface, or through the API.

The code for Submission is open source, and can be found on Github .

Core Functionality

• Provides an API and user interface for researchers to submit tasks to the TREs.
• Authenticates and authorises approved researchers
• Forwards validated tasks to the Trusted Research Environment agent for execution
• Tracks the status of submitted tasks
• Provides a API that can be used to integrate and build against.

Ideal Uses Cases

• Entry point for researchers into a federated TRE system
• Submitting and monitoring analysis tasks
• Integrating external tools with the TRE task workflow

Core Components

Here is a summary of the required components which make up the Submission Layer:

You may choose how to distribute your own deployment of these components, as long as they are able to communicate with each other over the network.

For some components, such as KeyCloak or S3 (e.g., MinIO, RustFS), you may wish to use your own existing deployments.

User accessible components

A subset of the components will need to be accessible by users, outside of the TRE Layer environment, through a reverse proxy or port forwarding:

Note: Sample ports are provided for reference only. It can be modified to reflect the your own infrastructure and configuration choices.
