These project accounts can be used for two things:
1) store data
2) run simulations Sommaire
If you do not know of which project accounts you are a member you can execute the command:
id

The project accounts under which one can store data are usually the same as the ones under one which can run simulations but not always. If you are trying to run under a project account of which you are not a member your job will simply be denied.
