Budgets are a tool for faculty to limit their service utilization. They are not retroactive, and count service fees between when they are implemented and their expiration date. Budgets are decreased when the job accounting is inserted into the main database after jobs complete, or when daily storage quotas are reported to the main database.
Globus is a reliable, high-performance file transfer platform allowing users to transfer large amounts of data seamlessly between systems. It aims to make transfers a "click-and-forget" process by setting up configuration details in the background and automating fault recovery.
Globus can be used for both file transfers between OSC and:

Securely transferring files at OSC
Files containing personal health information (PHI) must be encrypted when they are stored (at rest) and when they are transferred between networked systems (in transit).
Transferring files securely to OSC involves understanding which commands/applications to use and which directory to use.
Providing access to protected data locations
PHI data transferred to OSC will be set with permissions to restrict access to only project users. Project users are determined by group membership. For example, project PEX1234 has a protected data location at /fs/ess/PEX1234 and only users in the group PEX1234 may access data in that dir.
See access control list how-to for more information on how it works.
