| | 1 | == Become a member of a GENI Project == |
| | 2 | Now you should be able to login to the portal. However, in order to run experiments in GENI you would need to join or create a project. If you are: |
| | 3 | * a faculty member |
| | 4 | * or a senior technical member in a company or a university |
| | 5 | you can become a Project Lead and [#a2b.CreateaGENIProject create your own projects]. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Everyone else should join a project created by a Project Lead. You can ask any of your collaborators that fit the above criteria to create a project for you [#a2a.JoinaGENIProject to join]. |

| | 9 | === a. Join a GENI Project === |
| | 10 | After a project is created, you can try and join the project. In order to do that, do the following: |

| | 34 | |
| | 35 | === b. Create a GENI Project === |
| | 36 | A GENI account has no privileges outside of a Project; i.e. as long as you are not a member of a GENI Project you can not use any GENI resources. In GENI only Project Leads can create Projects. Any faculty member, or a person in a corresponding position in industry, can request to become a Project Lead and thus have the capability of creating GENI Projects. |
