1) Project access
If you’re looking to add users to a project, you will need to submit a request to help@pawsey.org.au and Pawsey will add them for you. Any request to add or remove a user from a project requires written approval from the project owner.

Replace ubuntu with centos in the examples above if your instance was created using one of the CentOS images.

1. Project owner + Member, can do everything, is responsible for everything
2. Member, can do everything (given Project Access)
3. Instance user, granted access by Member after instance created
