Allocation details
Access to ColdFront's allocations details is based on user roles. PIs and managers see the same allocation details as users, and can also add project users to the allocation, if they're not already on it, and remove users from an allocation.
How to View Resource Allocation Details in the Project
A single project can have multiple allocations. To view details about a specific resource allocation, click on any of the available allocations in the Allocations section of the project details. Here, you can view the Resource Type, information about your Allocated Project, status, End Date of the allocation, and Actions button or any pending actions as shown below:
Clicking the Action icon (shown as a folder icon on the right side of each allocation, as seen in the image above) for the corresponding allocation will open a page displaying detailed information about that allocation. You can access either the PI and Manager View or General User View of the allocation detail page for OpenStack or OpenShift Resource Allocation, depending on your role in the project.
How to find ID of the Resource Allocation
After clicking the Action button for the corresponding allocation, you will be redirected to a new allocation detail page. The web browser will display the URL in the following format:
https://coldfront.mss.mghpcc.org/allocation/<Allocation_ID>/
To find the ID of the resource allocation, observe the URL and note the
<Allocation_ID> part. For example, in the URL https://coldfront.mss.mghpcc.org/allocation/1/,
the resource Allocation ID is 1.
PI and Manager View
PIs and managers can view important details of the project and underlying allocations. It shows all allocations including start and end dates, creation and last modified dates, users on the allocation and public allocation attributes. PIs and managers can add or remove users from allocations.

General User View
General Users who are not PIs or Managers on a project see a read-only view of the allocation details. If a user is on a project but not a particular allocation, they will not be able to see the allocation in the Project view nor will they be able to access the Allocation detail page.
