Document process for data retrieval.

I sent over some signed urls to the people requesting their data and typed up some notes as I went along which I shared with @balajialg

Thanks, @felder for the detailed write-up! Appreciate it!

Couple of questions,

1. In general, How much time does it take to share the data for a student request?
2. From a back-of-the-envelope estimation, How hard is it to automate such requests using scripts for the future? Is this something feasible and can be added to our backlog? @yuvipanda Please feel free to chime in!

1. About 15 minutes. It's a pretty quick task.
2. I think this is something that could be automated to be self serve. It would ideally be calnet authenticated which would remove us from needing to verify the requests while also ensuring the student only can request their own files. However, that might present some edge cases such as a student who no longer has hub access needing to retrieve.

@felder Thanks for the info! We can definitely handle edge cases the way we handle them right now. I can create a GitHub issue for automating such requests and add it to the project board backlog!
