How do I, as a facility manager, add a person to the facility's file share?

Facility staff

...

contacts ChemIT with the following specific information:

• Include User's NetID and name.
• Include which group.
(Note:
• Specify which research group user belongs to. Confirm it already exists, or request one get created, as appropriate.
  
  • If not in a research group which should exist, specify "OtherUsers".

No need to specify equipment needed. NMR: Note that NMR's Linux accounts are not done through ChemIT. Thus, those NMR

...

instrument accounts are provisioned directly by Ivan, in NMR. ChemIT does not need to know about them.

ChemIT staff's steps:

• At <http://www.cornell.edu/search/people.cfm>, confirm name matches NetID, as an error-check.
• In AD (Quest), add NetID of person to research group.
  •  Example: AS-CHM-NMR-ShareWolczanski
    • At: <cornell.edu/DelegatedObjects/AS/UnitObjects/Cluster C - Science/Chemistry - CHM/Research/NMR/NMR Share/AS-CHM-NMR-ShareWolczanski>.
• For NMR requests: Within NMR's fileshare (CIT's SFS), use own ADM account to create folder with group's folder, using NetID as the folder's name.
  • User can't do this from an instrument computer; they or NMR staff would first have to create the folder before the first use of the instrument. Hence, ChemIT staff doing so as a courtesy, even though not strictly required.

How can a facility manager quickly check what groups are already in AD?

How does my user access my facility's file share?

You need to add your own folder's name to the path, which is usually the PI's last name .in place of "Groupname" in the examples below:

For Windows:

• NMR ---> \\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\NMR\GroupGroupname
• X-ray—> \\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\Xray\FinalizedData\GroupGroupname

For Mac using Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and above:

• NMR ---> smb://files.cornell.edu/AS/CHM/NMR/Group Groupname
• X-ray—> smb://files.cornell.edu/AS/CHM/Xray/FinalizedData/Group Groupname

See the facilities documentation for more details.

• NMR's documentation: (where is it?)
• X-ray's documentation: (where is it?)

For NMR, a couple of non-group directories include:most users user files are under a research group, so will use the appropriate group name (in place of "Groupname", above). The few users who are not in a group are to use the following as their group name:

• OtherUsers

ChemIT's general instructions to connect to a file share:

...

• Facility's staff should work with ChemIT staff to go through their list of file share users and groups.

• groups
