Globus Connect Server Collection

A collection consists of metadata about the collection, a DNS domain for accessing data on the collection, and configuration on the Data Transfer Nodes to access the collection data. Globus Connect Server version 5 supports two types of collections: mapped and guest.

Version 1.1.0 adds support for enabling or disabling https access for individual collections, as well as the ability for collection administrators to add an optional message and web link to be shown on the Globus Web App when users visit the collection.

Version 1.2.0 adds the ability to enable or disable sharing by specific users.

Version 1.3.0 add support for custom DNS domains on collections.

Version 1.4.0 allows optional multi-factor authentication requirements to high assurance collections and the ability to require checksums when transferring data on this collection.

Version 1.5.0 allows administrators to disable permissions that would allow anonymous users to have write access to an endpoint.

Version 1.6.0 allows administrators of mapped collections to associate policies that users accessing guest collections must meet beyond the guest collection permissions.

Version 1.7.0 increases the maximum allowed length of the user_message property.

Version 1.8.0 adds the delete_protected property. While it is set to true on a mapped collection, the collection may not be deleted. As of GCS 5.4.69, this is true by default.

Version 1.9.0 adds the read-only last_access and created_at properties.

Version 1.10.0 adds the acl_expiration_mins property to HA mapped collections.

Version 1.11.0 adds the acl_expiration_mins property to HA guest collection.

Version 1.12.0 adds the restrict_transfers_to_high_assurance property to HA collections.
