Defining FABRIC
A glossary for common terms used by our researchers
Project Permissions: When a FABRIC project is created initially, it has very limited rights to FABRIC resources; project members can create slices with virtual machines (VMs) with no more than 2 cores, 10G of RAM, and 10G of disk space, and no specialized components. These slices are also limited to one site. Users may request additional rights—or additional project permissions—from FABRIC staff to expand their capabilities. Project permissions, when granted, are shown in the portal as project tags. Each tag represents a distinct FABRIC feature for which permission was granted.
