Guide: Project and Quota
➡️ Back to the FAQ for Projects and Quota.
Quota defines the resource limits allocated to a project, such as vCPUs, RAM, networks, and storage
Project and eligibility
Before a quota can be set for a project, in advance an entitlement/ eligibility needs to be granted to the project owner.
- Each project is associated with an eligibility hold by the owner of the project.
- The maximal quota a user can request is restricted by the quota flavor of his/her eligibility.

Project and eligibility examples
Example project and eligibility 1
In the illustration is a life cycle for a project presented.
- First, User I registers for the bwCloud-OS. At this moment, he/she is holding one Eligibility A. Automatic is a start project with a quota created. Only User I is member of this project.
- Later on, the user holds an additional and larger Eligibility B, granted by his/her home organization. After a request for quota change more quota is granted, and the link for the associated eligibility is updated.
- User II holds no eligibility; hence, he/she can login to the bwCloud-OS, but can't use compute resources. User I wants to share the resources of start project I with User II. After the request for a new project member, User II is also able to use compute resources. The former assigned eligibility will be free for use again.
