Managing Project Changes and Extensions

Project Changes

Personal Data Usage: Update GDPR status as needed.

User Accounts: Manage user accounts as necessary.

Resource Pools and Extensions: Modify resource pools and request additional resources.

Project Extensions

To extend the project to additional parts of the system, select 'Request More Resources' at the top of the project part.

Specify which resource types you wish to extend and provide additional values if needed. Submit your request for approval.

Changes Performed by the VSC Team

Contact the VSC team for changes such as project manager, project name, and project group memberships.

The VSC team can also add secretaries to the project, who have similar rights to the project manager.

Project Lifecycle Notifications

Core Hours

90% Usage: A warning email will be sent.

90% Quota: A warning email will be sent.

100% Quota: A notification will be sent, preventing the creation of new files.

Project Expiry

One Month Before Expiry: A notification email will be sent.

Day of Expiry: Another email will be sent. The project remains functional, but new users cannot be added.

One Month After Expiry: A notification will inform you that job submissions are disabled. Currently running jobs will finish.

Two Months After Expiry: A reminder email will prompt you to back up any data you wish to retain.

Three Months After Expiry: User logins will be disabled. It is crucial to back up all relevant data before this deadline.

Extension: Request an extension if required, even post-expiry. Test projects can only be extended for short periods (30-60 days), while other projects may be extended up to one year.

Auto-Extension: Projects with significant remaining core hours will be automatically extended for six months to ensure uninterrupted access.
