Compute Canada resources are made available to PIs through Resource Allocation Projects (RAP). Researchers are usually working on at least one research project. For reporting purposes, we need to be able to provide statistics on how our facilities are used, but the word “project” is too ambiguous, therefore we use a name which does not have any implicit meanings. Also, computing resources are not allocated to individuals, they are allocated to groups of researchers. The RAP is the group of researchers which resources are allocated to. | Compute Canada resources are made available to PIs through Resource Allocation Projects (RAP).

The PI 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.

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. | RAP membership is represented as a group in LDAP.
