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

Using Use the AD website lookup tool:

• https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/adexplorer.aspx

What rights do my users have on my facility's file share, from their accounts?

• Read and write.
• Accessible fro from their private computers.
• Not accessible from the instrument computers, which have their own instrument accounts with different rights.
• From off-campus, user must use VPN. (File share protocol.)

What rights do my instrument accounts have on the facility's file share?

Read, Create(?) permissions, but not . Not Change.

• This allows

...

• directory browsing when using an instrument to whatever is the required folder to deposit resulting instrument files, regardless of user

...

• . And no ability to change or remove anyone's work, including one's own.
• Thus, although Caveat: Although user can create a folder within a permitted folder, can't rename the folder from the instrument.
  • Make such changes on the desktop before moving files to server. Or, make the changes using user's account.
• Removing or changing anything must be done from within a user's (or Admin's ) account, and then this is restricted to whatever the location of the permitted directory (folder) for that user can do . (thusThus, only within their that user's research group's folder).
  • Same thing for the facility manager's Admin account, but without the directory (folder) restrictions.

How do I add a group? (ChemIT)

...

• Confirm group does not exist in AD and on the fileshare structure.
• In AD (Quest), add research group.
  •  Example: AS-CHM-NMR-ShareGroupname
    • At: <cornell.edu/DelegatedObjects/AS/UnitObjects/Cluster C - Science/Chemistry - CHM/Research/NMR/NMR Share/AS-CHM-NMR-ShareGroupname>.
• 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.
