Individual users connect and perform jobs (a.k.a. computational tasks) on the cluster using a formal [common pool resource (CPR)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-pool_resource) hierarchy system. What does this mean? Recall that we are talking about shared resources, where if one user overused the resource, it may be to the detriment of other users' experiences. The CPR hierarchy system is comprised of rules and regulations designed to prevent this from happening, that are enforced by managers of the resource @common-pool_2022. This is important because if a single or a few users used up all the computing resources one day, then the other nearly 400 users would not be able to perform their work that day, which would not be fair.
