| Requesting a Project | 01 July 2019 | merlin6_sidebar | /merlin6/request-project.html |
A project owns its own storage area which can be accessed by the storage members. Projects can receive a higher storage quota than user areas and should be the primary way of organizing bigger storage requirements in a multi-user collaboration.
Access to a project's directories is governed by project members belonging to a common Unix group. You may use an existing Unix group or you may have a new Unix group created especially for the project. The project responsible will be the owner of the Unix group (this is important)!
The default storage quota for a project is 1TB (with a maximal Number of Files of 1M). If you need a larger assignment, you need to request this and provide a description of your storage needs.
To request a project, please provide the following information in a PSI Service Now ticket

If you need a new Unix group to be created, you need to first get this group through a separate *PSI Service Now ticket. Please use the following template.
