+# Beginner's Guide for Facility Czars
+
+This guide is intended for facility czars to get started with managing their facility's repos, computing resources, user accounts, and more. The majority of czar tasks can be performed on [coact](https://coact.slac.stanford.edu) but this guide will cover some additional topics.
+
+List of primary tasks for a facility czar:
+* Create/manage repos for computing/storage resources for their facility
+* Install and set up facility-specific software (e.g. in `/sdf/group`)
+* Add/remove users to facility repos for accessing computing resources
+* Add/remove users to Posix group for accessing storage resources (e.g. `/sdf/data` or `/sdf/group`)
+* Inform facility users on how to access computing/storage resources on S3DF
+* Monitor facility repo and resources utilization
+* Communicate facility-wide issues or requests between the S3DF admin team and facility users
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Facility czars play the role of an intermediary between S3DF general users and S3DF admin/support staff. Czars are the primary point-of-contact for users with S3DF issues/requests but not expected to provide full technical support; they can refer users to the [S3DF help Slack channel](slac.slack.com#comp-sdf).
+
+## Management Systems in Coact
+
+Coact is the primary interface for facility czars to manage their tasks. The most common tasks involve managing repos and their facility's users. To begin, log into your [coact](https://coact.slac.stanford.edu) account. The tabs in the top left: Facilities, Repos, and Requests each provide different options.
+
+![Coact Menu Tabs](assets/coact_menu_tabs.png)
+
+### Coact: Facilities
+
+<ul>
+  
+  In this tab, czars can see an overview of their facility's compute and storage resources. Additionally, czars can add existing S3DF users to their facility and delegate additional czars.</ul>
+
+### Coact: Repos
+
+<ul>
+  
+  In this tab, czars can create repos and allocate computing resources to them. Additionally, czars can add/remove members to the different repos (useful if different users need access to different computing resources for different projects).</ul>
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Repos cannot be deleted in Coact!** This is a known limitation and should not be an issue for now as repos can be renamed and allocated to zero users aside from the facility czar. To delete a repo, please contact the S3DF admin team.
+
+  * To create a new repo use the "Request New Repo" button in the top right.
+  * To add a user to an existing repo, select the person icon next to the repo name to view the users for that repo. Then select the "Manage Users" button to add/remove users.
+  * To allocate compute resources for a repo, select the "Compute" tab and edit the "Total compute allocation" value for the desired repo/cluster name.
+
+<ul>
+
+  Additionally, in the "Compute" tab, selecting a particular cluster will show the utilization history along with how many CPU-hours were used by each user in the repo.</ul>
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Allocation values less than 100% will restrict the maximum number of CPUs/GPUs that can be used by that repo/cluster at a time as a fraction of the total owned resources by the facility.
+
+### Coact: Requests
+
+<ul>
+  
+  In this tab, czars can accept requests by users to join a facility and gain access to its repos. An email notification will be sent to czars when a user requests access to the facility. If an error occurs, it may be due to a new user not having a SLAC Unix account associated with coact. Accepting requests here only adds the user to the facility but does not automatically add them to any repos except "default".</ul>
+
+## Other S3DF Czar Tasks
+
+In addition to managing users and repos through Coact, some additional common tasks include:
+
+### How to add/remove users from legacy Posix groups
+
+<ul>
+  
+  New S3DF users without legacy unix accounts should automatically gain membership into their respective facility group. However, it may be necessary to manually adjust the group settings if issues occur.</ul>
+<ul>
+  
+  Directly changing posix group membership is not possible on S3DF due to elevated privilege requirements (the "usermod" command requires "sudo" access). Instead, to add/remove members from the posix group can be done by logging into `centos7.slac.stanford.edu` and using the `ypgroup` command.</ul>
+<ul>
+
+  For example, to add a user to a posix group on Centos7, use the following command: `ypgroup adduser -group <groupname> -user <username>`. Additional options can be viewed with `ypgroup --help`.</ul>
+
+### How/where to install software (e.g. Conda) for the facility
+
+<ul>
+  
+  Software to be used by several users in a facility should be installed in `/sdf/group` or a subdirectory. To install Conda specifically, see the [Conda guide](conda.md). For other software, see the [software guide](software.md).</ul>
+
+<ul>
+  
+  If software to be installed is universal enough to be used by a lot of S3DF users, across multiple facilities, please send an inquery to [S3DF help Slack channel](slac.slack.com#comp-sdf) or the dedicated [S3DF czars Slack channel](slac.slack.com#s3df-czars) (requires permission).</ul>
+
+### How to request/purchase additional resources (e.g. compute nodes)
+
+<ul>
+  
+  If additional computing or storage resources are needed, please consult with the [S3DF czars Slack channel](slac.slack.com#s3df-czars) (requires permission) to check when the next bulk purchase order is to be made along with pricing options.</ul>
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Computing and storage resources have finite support lifetimes (usually around 5 years). Be sure to check with the S3DF admin team for available options when nearing the end-of-life of existing resouces.
