Resource Entitlement Management System (REMS) extension for CKAN. Enables use of REMS access rights management with CKAN datasets.

REMS provides tools to design application forms and workflows for items requiring authorization. REMS can be used by the end user to apply for access to a dataset. Users controlling the workflow may use REMS to process the application and administer previously granted access rights. See: https://tnc2013.terena.org/core/presentation/18

The REMS plugin currently depends on the Kata extension.
