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.

To request a project, please provide the following information in a PSI Service Now ticket

  • Please open an Incident Request with subject:

    Subject: [Merlin6] Project Request for project name xxxxxx
    
  • and base the text field of the request on this template

    Dear HelpDesk
    
    I would like to request a new Merlin6 project.
    
    Project Name: xxxxx
    UnixGroup: xxxxx    #Must be an existing Unix Group
    
    Best regards,
    

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. You can also specify the login names of the initial group members and the owner of the group. The owner of the group is the person who will be allowed to modify the group.
