University computing Centre need the data about organization’s software that will serve as a REST API client (we call it RIS – REST information system), so that they can access and use the REST API. 

Required data about the RIS:

1. RIS Name 
2. RIS Abbreviation 
3. Owner Organization Name 

Optional data about the RIS:
1. RIS Description 
2. RIS Info URL 
3. RIS Contact Email 
4. RIS Contact Phone 

After University computing Centre receives needed data and enter this data in the central register, the username and a password will be send for organization’s RIS in separate emails. That username and password are mandatory for every API request. API will serve the data only relevant to the university, which is bound to the corresponding RIS, i.e. username.

Some API endpoints (i.e. those related to user administration) are additionally secured. In addition to username and password, these endpoints also require an identifier of a real user (a person) who is the one „working" with the system. That user should have an appropriate level of rights in the system (e.g. UNI Admin) in order for these actions to be performed.
