-Compute Canada resources are made available to PIs through Resource Allocation Projects (RAP). In general, there are two main types to RAPs:
-*Default RAP: A default RAP is automatically created when a PI role is activated. Default and Rapid Access Service quotas for storage and cloud resources are managed via this default RAP. The Default RAP allows PIs and sponsored users to make opportunistic user of compute resources with with default (that is, the lowest) priority. On CCDB, it uses the convention def-username [username is also known as "local account").
-*RAC RAP: This RAP is created when the PI receives an award through any of the Resource Allocation Competitions. On CCDB, it uses the convention rrg-username-xx or rpp-username-xx, depending on the competition.
-RAP membership is represented as a group in LDAP. It defines a group of users that are authorized to submit jobs against the RAPI (which is the Id of the RAP) and share files within the same Unix group.
 The PI must must add sponsored users to a RAP in order for them to access CC resources. PIs can manage RAP memberships at any time on CCDB by adding, removing and assigning roles to sponsored users. There are three RAP membership roles:
 *Owner: by default, the PI is the sole owner of the RAP and all the allocations associated to that RAP. This cannot be changed. The Owner can add or remove RAP managers and members.
