How do I, as a facility manager, add a person to the facility's file share?
Managers Facility managers at NMR and XRay can add people directly to existing groups. Follow these steps:

How

do Facility Managers clean out users given access to their facility's share who no longer should have access? How do I remove a group?
- The process of keeping group membership's current is left up to each Facility's staff's discretion.
- If help is wanted, please contact Chemistry IT for a consultation.
- Group removal will require coordinating with Chemistry IT. Thanks!
How does a facility user access a facility's file share?
Use the AD website lookup tool:
What rights do my users have on my facility's file share, from their accounts?
...
What rights do my instrument accounts have on the facility's file share?
Read , and Create (?) permissions. Not Change, however.
- 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.
- 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 account, and this is restricted to the location of the permitted directory (folder) for that user. (Thus, only within that user's research group's folder).
- Same thing for the facility manager's Admin account, but without the limited directory (folder) restrictions.
Chemistry IT Staff
For ChemIT staff: How do I add a group?
...
ChemIT Chemistry IT staff's steps:
- 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>.
- Example: 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.
For ChemIT staff: What are the NMR instruments this pertains to?
...
- GC Mate
- Location: Old Protein Lab space, B78 ST Olin. (Used to be in B-level Baker.)
- Exactive/ DART
- Location: Old Protein Lab space, B78 ST Olin. (Used to be on the 4th floor, in ST Olin.)
- Bruker/ AV500
- Location: B63 ST Olin.
- Note: This system's billing kiosk is located in the old Protein Lab space, B78 ST Olin.
For ChemIT staff: What is the X-Ray instrument this pertains to?

- TBD
How does my user access my facility's file share?
Your users must add their own folder's name to the path structures show below. This is usually the PI's last name in place of "Groupname" in the examples below:
For Windows:
- NMR ---> \\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\NMR\Groupname
- X-ray—> \\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\Xray\FinalizedData\Groupname
For Mac using Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and above:
- NMR ---> smb://files.cornell.edu/AS/CHM/NMR/Groupname
- X-ray—> smb://files.cornell.edu/AS/CHM/Xray/FinalizedData/Groupname
See the facilities documentation for more details.
- NMR's documentation: (where is it?)
- X-ray's documentation: (where is it?)
For NMR, 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

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