Notes

General labeled projects are open to a large number of group users to evaluate on (ie department-wide). Any instance started here can be viewed by any active IdentiKey user within the same group that is on any type of payroll. As such do not start an instance of value in this project. Request a private project for long-term needs. Memberships would be managed with the OIT Enterprise Access Management Service (Grouper).

If a private project is desired, return to the Computing Resources page and click "Request a Private Project" in the OpenStack section.
