If you are a member of multiple projects on Monsoon2 you can specify which `/projects` directory your Rose/Cylc suite writes to by adding the following to the top of the `rose-suite.conf` file.

```auto
root-dir=*=/projects/<project-name>/$USER 

```

where `<project-name>` is a Monsoon2 project (e.g. paracon).
