Globus - Creating a Service Endpoint

Table of Contents

Overview

A Service Endpoint is not used to store data directly, but is used as a gateway to a multi-user storage environment such as SharePoint.

Naming Endpoints

In order to make Endpoints easy to find, we recommend following a common TAMU Globus Naming Convention.
