*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 use of compute resources with the default (that is, the lowest) priority.

Cloud resources allocated via the Resource Allocation | Cloud resources allocated via the Resource Allocation Competition are awarded through a RAC RAP which follows a different naming convention than default projects. The group name of RAC RAPs with cloud allocations typically takes the form of <code>crg-profname</code> (for cloud resources allocated via the RRG competition) or <code>cpp-profname</code> (for cloud resources allocated via the RPP competition). | ||
