If you decide to request IDAS for your course, please fill out the following Workflow form: https://workflow.uiowa.edu/form/idas-class-request.

Yes, course instructors can request a shared storage space when they fill out the classroom request form in Workflow. Each course can have a 1TB free shared storage space of 1TB. Please see this article for more information about accessing charge.
When instructors fill out the Workflow form, they will be asked to specify their students' access to the class share from IDAS.
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 shareTwo options are available:
- Read/Write: the students can view, edit, create and delete files in the class share. If you choose this option, students can end up removing files from the class share, making those files unavailable for other students in the class. Please make sure this is what you want before you choose this option in the Workflow form.
- Read Only: the students can view and copy the files from the class share to their IDAS home drives. They can't edit, create or delete files in the class share. This is the option that most instructors choose.
The instructor is the owner of the class share and has Read/Write access. At this point each share can only have 1 owner.
Please see this article for more information about accessing the class share from IDAS.
