To an Allocation#

Note

When requesting an allocation you can give permissions to existing users. When adding a user to a project initially, you can add them to active allocations. The following instructions are for adding existing users to an active allocation.

  1. Navigate to the Allocation details page by clicking on the allocation under Information in the Allocation Panel panel.

  2. Scroll down to the Users in Allocation panel and click on Add Users.

  3. Select which users to add to the allocation. If it is a Storage allocation, you will also need to select their Permissions (Read and Write or Read Only).

  4. Click on Add Selected Users to Allocation.

  5. The user will still need to accept the Policies and Guidelines to use the allocation.

Remove a User#

From a Project/Class#

  1. Click on remove users button in the header next to users header.

  2. Select the user(s) that you want to remove from the list.

    select users

  3. Click on remove selected users.

  4. You can verify that a user has been removed under users header on the Project/Class page.

Allocation Permissions (for Storage allocations only)#

  1. Navigate to the Allocation details page by clicking on the allocation under Information in the Allocation Panel panel.

  2. Scroll down to the Users in Allocation panel and click on Change Permissions.

  3. From the Eligible Users, set the desired Permissions.

    Note

    Occassionally, it takes a while to provision users on the actual HPC systems. If you see a message like this

    No users in project are currently eligible for a permissions change

    either your users have not accepted the Policies and Guidelines yet, or they are still being provisioned with their original permissions. Check back in a few hours and users may be eligible for a permissions change.

  4. Click on Change Users Permission.

Notification Settings#

  1. Under Users on your project page, you will see a column to Enable Notifications.

  2. Check or uncheck the box to enable or disable notifications for all users, or do so individually for each user.

    Note

    You cannot disable notifications for someone with the Manager role. As the PI or Instructor, you are responsible for monitoring changes to allocations in your projects.
