This glossary explains terms used. + +CNCF FOSSA + : a service instance of FOSSA that is operated by the CNCF Projects Team and is configured to check that +licenses used in a project conform to the CNCF Allow License Policy. + +Registered Maintainers +: people who have agreed to act as maintainers of a CNCF project and who have submitted their details +to the CNCF + +CNCF Project +: An open source project that has joined the CNCF and adheres to the policies of the CNCF + +FOSSA Project +: an imported GitHub repository that contains code belonging to a CNCF Project which will be scanned by FOSSA. Typically, +a CNCF Project will need to scan all code repositories that are associated with artefacts that can be released to and +used by End Users. + +FOSSA Team +: A collection of FOSSA Users and FOSSA Projects. Each CNCF Project has a single FOSSA Team. + +FOSSA Team Admin +: a FOSSA User that has the Team Admin role can add FOSSA projects to the team. They can also add FOSSA +Users to their team. When the CNCF Project Team sets up Project Maintainers on a new FOSSA Team this is the role given +to Project Maintainers. Project Maintainers are free to assist with onboarding both their maintainer colleagues on to +their FOSSA Team and then can choose to add other CNCF FOSSA Users to their team. + +FOSSA Organization Admin +: CNCF Staff on the CNCF Project Team, have the Organization Admin role in FOSSA which grants additional permissions +such as License Policy Editing and Sending User Invitations. + +## Setting up a new CNCF Project on FOSSA + +The following steps are carried out as part of on-boarding a new Sandbox Project. The initial steps are carried out by +a CNCF Staff member from the CNCF Projects Team and the remaining steps are carried out by the new CNCF Project +Maintainers. + +The order in which these steps occur is important.
