This howto explains how to manage the "User requires a new project" request, i.e. requests for an already registered user to create a new project.
The procedure to be followed is described in the following flowchart
Details on the single steps are described below
"User requires a new project" request [1]
To manage a user registration request, log as admin in the Dashboard and click on Admin → Identity panel → Registrations. You will see the list of the pending requests.
Select the relevant request and click on Action → Details to see all the information concerning the request
The project is for ? [2]
You have to understand if this request if for a Unipd project, a INFN project or if it is for a "CloudVeneto" (i.e. non INFN, non Unipd) project.
Generally you should be able to get this information from the "Home institution" field of the request.
If it is:
- xxx.unipd.it, this should be a request for a Unipd project
- xxx.infn.it: this should be a request for a INFN project
- in all other cases, this should be a request for a "CloudVeneto" (i.e. non INFN, non Unipd) project
You might need to contact via e-mail the person if this is not clear and/or ask the other cloud administrators.
Check if the Unipd project can be created and in case get the relevant information [3]
If the "Home institution field" is other.unipd.it this means that the request is coming from a department which is not member of the CloudVeneto collaboration. In this case in general we should ask Alberto Garfagnini if the request can be accepted. In case ask Massimo Sgaravatto if he knows something about this request.
In all other cases, please get in touch the contact person(s) that you can see selecting the relevant request and then clicking on Action → Details, as shown in the example picture below.
Send an e-mail to this(these) contact persons (CC-ing the user who submitted the request), asking:
- if the project should be created
- if it is OK that the user who requested the project is the manager of such project
- the expiration date of the project
- if the request was for a private project, ask why this is needed (specify that private projects are discouraged and will be accepted only for valid reasons)
Check if the CloudVeneto project can be created and in case get the relevant information [4]
Request for non INFN, non Unipd projects in general should be decided by Alberto Garfagnini. In case ask Massimo Sgaravatto if he knows something about this request
Check if the INFN project can be created and in case get the relevant information [5]
Request for INFN projects should be only for approved INFN experiment, and the person asking for the project should be the local team leader of this experiment.
If you are not sure about a request, please ask Massimo Sgaravatto.
If the project can be created, ask the user who submitted the request:
- the expiration date of the project
- if the request was for a private project, ask why this is needed (specify that private projects are discouraged and will be accepted only for valid reasons)
Reject request [7]
Select the relevant request and click on Action → Reject.
In the message field please explain why the request was rejected. You might want to explain the decision also via e-mail
Authorize project creation [8]
Select the relevant request and click on Action → Create project to authorize the request.
A form will appear.
First of all you to set the expiration date (you should know this information from the previous step).
You may need to change the Project name. As a best practice the project name should be under 20 chars
If you are going to create:
- a INFN project:
- Select "INFN" as "Available units"
- Select the relevant(s) Unit or Department
- Choose a 10.64 network from "Available networks"
- a Unipd project:
- Select "Unipd" as "Available units"
- Select the relevant(s) Unit or Department
- For what concerns "Available networks" select:
- a 10.64 network if this is a project for DFA
- a 10.67 network if this is a project for another department
- a CloudVeneto (i.e. non INFN, non Unipd) project
- Select "CloudVeneto" as "Available units"
- Select a 10.68 network from "Available networks"
When you have filled all the information, click "Ok"
Final steps [9]
Update the relevant page under Networking with the information about the new created network.
Notify the Cloud governance about the new project. by sending an e-mail to:
cloud-unipd-gov@lists.pd.infn.it
Example:
Vi informo che e` stato creato su CloudVeneto il nuovo progetto AbinitioTransport
Descrizione:
We run density functional theory and post density-functional theory (namely the GW-BSE approach) for
calculating from first-principles transport properties such as effective masse, electron and hole lifetimes.
Starting from test calculations we aim to study materials
relevant for solar cell devices. We will focus in particular on hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. - DFA
