# Projects

All computing and storage resources are mapped to a organizational unit called a “Project” . A Project is owned by a single person called an "Owner". This owner can designate additional authorized “Approvers” . Every project has 1 or more “members” whom have access to the data, compute, and other resources allocated to the project. Some projects will incur a cost due to the amount of storage used. In these instances each project is assigned to a Dept and a optional Proj/Grant Number for billing purposes.
