Entitlements in bwCloud-OS define '''who can access the platform''', '''how many resources they may use''', and '''under what conditions'''. They are issued and managed by the user’s home institution and play a central role in how the platform is used and funded.

== Current Entitlement Types ==
There are currently '''two types of entitlements''':

* '''<code>bwCloud-Basic</code>''' Aimed at students and beginner users, offering limited resources. Typical use cases include:
** '''Student coursework'''
** '''Short-lived or experimental servers'''
** '''Hosting simple software repositories'''
* '''<code>bwCloud-Extended</code>''' Intended for advanced or long-term users who require more resources. This entitlement is meant for:
** '''Research'''
** '''Teaching infrastructure'''
** '''Operational workloads'''

📌 A user account can have both entitlements — in that case, '''<code>bwCloud-Extended</code>''' takes precedence.

== Resource Usage and Flavor Access ==
Entitlements determine which '''[[Flavors|flavor types]]''' (resource profiles) a user can launch:

* '''bwCloud-Basic'''
** Only allows launching '''<code>nano</code>''' or '''<code>tiny</code>''' instances.
* '''bwCloud-Extended'''
** Grants access to '''all available flavors'''.
** Users receive '''significantly higher quotas'''.

== VM Lifespan and Cleanup Policy ==
To ensure fair resource distribution and system availability, different rules apply depending on the assigned entitlement:

* '''bwCloud-Basic'''
** VMs may be regularly deleted by the bwCloud team to:
*** Clean up unused instances
*** Free capacity for new users
** ''Expect VMs to be '''potentially removed without notice'''.''
* '''bwCloud-Extended'''
** No such restrictions apply.
** VMs are persistent and remain active '''until the user deletes them'''.
