No, RDSS is not accessible from IDAS. 

How can I upload data to IDAS?

  • HTTP upload:
    • You can upload files using the “Upload” button in Jupyter Notebook or RStudio.
    • The file size limit is 10GB.
    • The upload speed depends on your internet connection and might be slower if you are using VPN.
    • Before uploading files, please make sure you have enough space in your IDAS home drive to accommodate the additional files. For more information about IDAS home drives, please see this article
  • (For research users) Mounting Argon homes and LSS shares:
    • If you have an Argon account or Large Scale Storage (LSS) shares, you can mount them when you spawn an IDAS research instance. This option allows you to access data in your Argon home or LSS shares while you work in IDAS.
    • For more information about spawning an IDAS research instance, please see Accessing IDAS for Research Use.
  • (For class instructors) Mounting class shares via CIFS/SMB:
    • If your class uses IDAS and you have requested a shared folder for your class, you can mount your class share to your workstation via CIFS/SMB.
    • Paths to class shares vary. Please contact us at research-computing@uiowa.edu to discuss this option.

Is IDAS approved to be used with restricted data?

IDAS is currently permitted to be used with Public and University/Internal data only. Please see the Data Classification Guide to IT Services for more information, including definitions of different data types and a table of IT services and the types of data permitted with them. 

Whom do I contact if I have further questions?

Class shares are typically set up using our default permission setting, which allows 1 user to be the owner of the share and have both Read and Write access. The owner of the share will be able to upload and modify files in the class share. Everyone else in the class has Read Only access, so they can read and copy files but can’t upload or modify files.

As an alternative setting, instructors can also request to give everyone in the class both Read and Write access to the class share. That means both the instructor and the students will be able to upload and modify files in the shared class folder. 

At this point we are unable to make more than one user the owner of the share.

How long will instructors and students have access to IDAS after the course ends?
