Moab Access Portal is an end-user job submission and management tool that works with Moab Workload Manager. It provides universally accessible job submission to Moab Workload Manager and associated resource managers from any location without the need to install software on the client computer.

Moab Access Portal empowers end users with Web-based job submission, an intuitive graphical interface and the other tools they need to track and manage their own workload, thus decreasing burdens on administrators.
