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 1-2 hours 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.
