-Users (that is, job submitters) must create an account on the BOINC project;

-A project administrator
-must then grant the user the right to submit jobs for LAMMPS

-Each user has an associated "quota" that determines their

-== Per-user file sandbox ==

-LAMMPS input files can be large,
-and it would be inconvenient to upload these files each time jobs are submitted.
-Instead, we allow users to maintain a set of files on the project server;
-this is called the user's "file sandbox".

-Using a web interface, users can

- * upload files from PC to sandbox
- * view the files in their sandbox, including size and MD5.
- * download files from sandbox to PC
- * delete files from the sandbox

-Files in the sandbox can be modified,
-and all old versions are retained on the server.
-When a batch of jobs is submitted,
-it uses the input file versions at the moment of submission,
-even if the files are then modified while the batch is in progress.
+The system uses BOINC's [FileSandbox file sandbox] for managing input files.
