Projects are absolutely central to the authorisation and access mechanisms for GRICAD services.
Projects bring together a group of people who wish to use computing infrastructure to work on the same topic.
Project administrators: By default, this is the person who created the project. The project creator can subsequently add other people as administrators.
Project members: When a project is created, the person who created it is the only member. Subsequently, other members can be added by one of the project administrators via the web interface.
The end date of a project: When creating a project, the admin specifies a duration that will determine the end date (or expiry date) for the project. Of course, projects can be extended by sending a request to sos-calcul-gricad@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr with the project name and the new desired end date.
The review date of a project: Each year, project administrators must write a brief report on their project. This annual report will be submitted to the scientific and technical referents of the cluster to which the project belongs. The cluster referents review the report and may approve the project’s continuation if they deem it valid.
Expiration and review dates are separate: Reviews are automatic (once a year) and are intended to ensure that long-term projects are regularly justified. The expiration date is based on the project duration estimated at the time of creation, not on scientific or technical validation.
A project that has not been reviewed by its review date is automatically expired. You will therefore no longer be able to run calculations on the infrastructure using this project. This applies even if the expiry date has not yet passed. All you need to do is review the project to reactivate it.
You will be notified by email one month before the expiration date of your project, whether this is due to a review or the project reaching the end of its validity period.
To join an existing, active project:
When creating a project, the user is asked to briefly describe the scientific objectives and the technical resources required. Once this is done, GRICAD/CIMENT reviewers assess the project’s relevance, liaise with the applicant and are then responsible for approving the project.
The more details you provide regarding your software requirements and the resources needed, the easier it will be for your contact person to assist you.
Once the project has been approved, PERSEUS members of the project can access the computing platforms. Users can easily access billing information regarding their activities, such as the computing power used (CPU hours) by themselves or the projects to which they belong.
Who can create a project? To create a project, you must be a permanent member of the Grenoble teaching and research community and, of course, be registered on the PERSEUS platform.
How do I create a project? Once you have logged in to PERSEUS, go to Home > My projects, then click on the ‘create project’ button at the top right of the page. You will be taken to a form that you need to complete to create your project.
As a project manager (project admin), you have the authority to manage your project members, but you also have a responsibility to update and maintain the project.
What are my responsibilities as a project manager?
How can I add admins to my project? Directly via the PERSEUS web interface: Under Home > My projects: click on the name of the project for which you are an admin. This will take you to the project summary page. Above the ‘Admins of project’ box: a red button allows you to add an admin directly using their PERSEUS login.
You will need the PERSEUS username of the person you wish to add.
How can I add members to my project? Directly via the PERSEUS web interface: Under Home > My projects: click on the name of the project for which you are the admin. This will take you to the project summary page. Above the ‘Members of project’ box: a red button allows you to add a member directly using their PERSEUS login.
As with adding an admin, you will need the PERSEUS username of the person you wish to add.
How do I remove someone from my project? To remove a member or an admin, simply edit the project and then save the changes:
