DYNES-Deployments

["Meikle, R. Bruce" <>]

It appears to me that this request for server reservation is outside the 
scope of the DYNES grant, which I understand to be intended to provide 
researchers the opportunity to reserve bandwidth and temporary storage to 
facilitate use of that bandwidth, and not to provide researchers the 
opportunity to reserve servers.

Thanks,
R. Bruce

     Loading a separate OS image onto the FDT server for each remote 
researcher, and running that with root access, is maybe the best way to 
understand what is being asked for.

In principle any account can be mapped. In practice, we would need to see a 
very detailed use case for why anyone from another institution would need 
root access to one of our servers.
