We strongly suggest leveraging the Policy Development Kit for the following reasons: - Save time - the templates have been well-researched and adopted in production AAIs by many research communities
- Speak for the AAI - all components should be bound by a common set of policies to allow you to make accurate statements on security and data protection for the entire infrastructure
- Enable access for researchers - some research communities require evidence of the adoption of policies by researchers’ Identity Providers in order for them to be granted access
- Limit interoperability inconveniences to end users - by adopting common policies, such as the Acceptable Use Policy, together we can decrease the number of clicks required by end users to access services
