Best practice

To ease the work/administration of a Dashboard Admin, the following scenario is a solution.

With this example you can allocate a budget to a department or research group, so they can create one of more project(s) themselves up to this budget.
This consumption will be compared to the SURF contract in monthly reporting and can for example then be billed on to this department / team.

How to arrange

  1. Create a new contract as Dashboard Admin at the contract tab
  2. Assign one of more people of a department / research team as Contract Admin to this contract
  3. Assign a quota (can be higher than agreed with SURF) to this new contract
  4. Contract admins can now create projects themself up to the total budget
  5. Usage will be report in the monthly reporting
