Nic Carp worked on user provisioning and access control for the TUM-DSE/doctor-cluster-config repository, focusing on secure onboarding and offboarding of student researchers. Using Nix for configuration management and system administration, Nic implemented an end-to-end workflow to provision user accounts with SSH key management, group assignments, and home directory setup, enabling controlled access to the Xavier host for thesis work. Later, Nic addressed security hygiene by removing obsolete user accounts and associated SSH keys, aligning the system configuration with current access policies. The work emphasized reproducibility, auditability, and reduced manual effort, demonstrating depth in access governance and centralized configuration practices.
