    66The system has the following properties:
    77
    8  * Users (i.e. scientists) interact entirely through a web-based interface.
     8 * Job submitters interact entirely through a web-based interface.
    99   They don't log into the project server,
    1010   and they don't need to know anything about BOINC.
     
    2222for other applications.
    2323
    24 == Authentication, access control, and quotas ==
    25 
    26 Users (that is, job submitters) must create an account on the BOINC project;
    27 this is done using a form on the project web site.
    28 A project administrator
    29 must then grant the user the right to submit jobs for LAMMPS
    30 (and potentially for other applications).
    31 Optionally, a designated user may be given the ability to
    32 grant access rights to other users.
    33 Each user has an associated "quota" that determines their
    34 share of processing power.
    35 
    36 == Per-user file sandbox ==
    37 
    38 LAMMPS input files can be large,
    39 and it would be inconvenient to upload these files each time jobs are submitted.
    40 Instead, we allow users to maintain a set of files on the project server;
    41 this is called the user's "file sandbox".
    42 
    43 Using a web interface, users can
    44 
    45  * upload files from PC to sandbox
    46  * view the files in their sandbox, including size and MD5.
    47  * download files from sandbox to PC
    48  * delete files from the sandbox
    49 
    50 Files in the sandbox can be modified,
    51 and all old versions are retained on the server.
    52 When a batch of jobs is submitted,
    53 it uses the input file versions at the moment of submission,
    54 even if the files are then modified while the batch is in progress.
     24The system uses BOINC's [FileSandbox file sandbox] for managing input files.

    5626== LAMMPS job submission ==
     
    5929This process has two steps.
    6030First, the user fills out a form specifying the following files,
    61 which must be in the sandbox:
