Creating project folders#

Assessing project folder request#

Project folders are requested by users in the #tech-kosmos-requests channel using the following format.

Project name: <project name>

Quota: <desired quota (default 100G)>

Does it require backups: <yes/no (default no)>

Username: <your username>

Optional:

Reason above 100G: <reason>

Tasks for admins:

  • Is the name sufficiently clear? In other words is it identifiable, recognizable and not using unclear abbreviations?

  • If desired quota >100G, is a reasonable explanation provided?

  • Is the backup requirement reasonable?
