How does a PI set a project admin?

A Principal Investigator (PI) may assign a user in his or her project the role of Project Administrator. The Project Admin has privileges to carry out administrative functions for the Project, such as adding new users, completing the annual renewal form, and giving Project members access to HPC resources. The Project Admin must have an MSI account within the PI's Project.

As the PI of the project, you may set Project Administrative privileges for one or more users. 

If you do not see the user in the list of users your group, you will first need to invite them to your MSI group, and they will need to accept the MSI User Agreement. Once they have accepted, they will appear in the list of users shortly thereafter and can be granted Group Admin privileges following this process.

As demonstrated in the graphic below, the steps to assign the Project admin role are: 

  1. Visit the project page on MyMSI  and select your Project.

  2. Select the "Manage Members" menu button.

  3. Using the dropdown menu beside the user of interest, select "Group Admin".

  4. Save changes with the "Update" button.
