Request group folders for your class instance on IDAS
Instructors can request group folders for their class instances on IDAS. These group folders can be used by students in the class for group projects.
- Email research-computing@uiowa.edu and let us know how many group folders you want for your class.
- ITS - Research Services staff will set up group folders for your class and let you know when the folders are ready.
- You can then add students to each group folder using Access Management. Please see details below.
- After students have been added to their groups, it will take about an hour for permissions to propagate through the system. If students have an instance running, they will need to restart their instance using the steps here for the changes to be picked up.
Add users to group folders using Access Management
1. Login to Access Management - https://iam.uiowa.edu/access.
2. Under "Services", click on "Interactive Data Analytics Service" and then click on the name of the class and group folder you want to edit.
3. In the "Members" tab, click the "Add" button.
4. In the popup that opens, enter the Hawk ID, Health Care ID, name, or email address of the user you want to add and click the search icon.
Note: You will need to select both a user's Hawk ID and Health Care ID if they need access from both IDs.
5. In the list of search results, click on the user you want to grant access to the group folder.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add additional users as needed.
7. Select the permission that the selected user(s) should have - either Read Only or Read/Write to the entire share. LSS does not support complex nested permissions inside a single file share.
8. Click "Accept".
