Project Admin
A Project Admin is authorized to manage either a dedicated project or an associated Node within the system. In this context, the terms Project and Node are used interchangeably, depending on the operational scope.

Administering at the Node Scope

Before you start
1. Register to Accounting Service.
2. Contact the system
administrator, to assign you the Project Admin role
upon the project you want.
In the Accounting Service, the Project Admin role is the primary role for managing a Project. Since Projects and Nodes are handled in a uniform manner, a client who needs to act as a Node Admin must also be assigned the project_admin role, which allows performing all operations on the associated Project/Node.
Below we describe the actions a Project Admin can either perform through
the Accounting User Interface or a simple HTTP request.
