In the DAC review phase, the DAC must verify the identity of the data user and determine if the proposed research is within the bounds of the permitted use(s) of the dataset. If approved, the data user and their institution must agree to the terms of use of the repository’s data through a data use or processing agreement. In the data use phase, the data user gains access to the dataset(s).

We may then then conceive of different sorts of passport-linked access requirements in Synapse. One type would grant access to data if a researcher is indicated to have a certain status by a trusted Broker. Another type would grant access only if a visa provided by a trusted Broker indicates that the user has access to a certain (controlled) data set. We would expect that in the visa the data set would be referred to by its ID in the namespace known to the Broker, as opposed to its Synapse ID. Therefore the Synapse access requirement would have to include the former ID in order to be able to evaluate the user’s visas.

OIDC provides for an 'expires_in' the token response. This is the time, in seconds, until the provided access token expires. The client can use this to decide when to use the refresh token to get a new access token. Note that doing so may also update the refresh token.

ID Tokens, being JWTs, have a 'exp' time stamp which is the epoch time after which the user information should no longer be considered valid. A passport should not be respected beyond this time limit.
