- Provides fine-grained access control for data sharing.
- Uses existing infrastructure to streamline data requests.

## Abstract

Making the large data sets collected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accessible to the world is a considerable challenge because of both the complexity and the volume of data. This paper presents the Ntuple Wizard, an application that leverages the existing computing infrastructure available to the LHCb collaboration in order to enable third-party users to request specific data. An intuitive web interface allows the discovery of accessible data sets and guides the user through the process of specifying a configuration-based request. The application allows for fine-grained control of the level of access granted to the public.
