-Access to and configuration of resources is affected by the project(s) a user is acting as a member of.  When a user requests resources, thay specify the projects under which they are requesting them.  A user requesting resources as a member of a project representing a university class may have access to different resources than one acting as a member of the testbed administration.  How membership affects the resources a group can claim is set by testbed [wiki:NewAdmin policy].

-In addition, the membership in projects controls how resources will be configured.  A resource in use by a particular project will generally be configured to be accessible to all members of that project.  A student who allocates resources as a member of a small design group while implementing a class project may later allocate resources as a member of the whole class when presenting the work to the class's TA and professor.
