NMR uses SFS shares to enable researchers to copy files from instrument computers (Windows and Linux) to their own computers (Windows, MacOS. Any Linux?!)
Instructions for using group's file share.
GC Mate's account is a single user account, <AS-CHM-GCMate>.
Behavior desired on GCMate computer (Windows):
- Browse entire NMR file share, listing all contents.
- Permit files to be written anywhere in the NMR file share.
- Not allow any files on the NMR file share to be opened, executed, deleted, moved, etc.
Account | Who | Comments | NMR Root Folder | Group Folder | User Folder |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AS-CHM-NMR-ADM | Acct - NMR Special Admin | See "AS-CHM-NMR-ShareAdmin" group account. | n/a | n/a | n/a |
AS-CHM-NMR-ShareAdmin | Group - NMR machine admin accounts. | 7/2/15: Oliver had Tony use his ADM account and he was able to get into the NMR file share and see all. Great! See "Old info" below for a "to do". Old info: Oliver never got the AMC88-ADM account to work. (The NMR-ADM account worked fine.) Why is one working, but not the other? | Modify | Modify | Modify |
AS-CHM-NMR-ShareGroup | Groups - Research Group members |
| Ideal: List folders, gaining access only to their group's folder. But don't do if increases by too much the complexity of admin'ing share or de-bugging share issues. (Inheritance issues.) | Modify | Modify |
AS-Chemistry-IT | Group - Chemistry IT | Q: Best if not use our normal NetID-based AD account, and reserve those accounts as a "normal" user? | Full | Full | Full |
AS-CHM-NMR-ShareInstAccts | Acct - Instrument Account | Currently OK, but not ideal: Although a file can't be copied or opened, it can be replaced with an identically named file. | Folders, sub-folders and files: Write only | Write only | Write only |
AS-CHM-NMR-ShareInstAccts | Acct - Instrument Account | Currently OK, but not ideal: Although a new folder can be created, it can't be named by the user. Only "New Folder" (or "New Folder (2)", etc.) get created. | Folder and sub-folders: List folder contents | List folder contents | List folder contents |
AS-CHM-NMR-SharePublic | Group - Researchers without an account | For ad hoc users to pick up their data (read-only; no write/ delete). Must have their NetID credentials, but that's it. They don't have to be added to an AD group, etc. | See this section for "AS-CHM-NMR-ShareGroup", above. | Read & execute | Read & execute |
For testing
Account | Purpose |
|---|---|
AS-CHM-NMRINST1 | Test account. To be used as a test instrument account to write to the SFS drive from Linux. |
AS-CHM-ChemITsfs | A user testing account for ChemIT staff since their non-DOC accounts have too many privileges in SFS-land. |
Permissions setting
Oliver set these permission for AS-CHM-NMR-ShareInstAccts to get the almost-perfect permissions on the GCMate computer:
Allow:
- List folder contents
- Write
Setting the above permission in turn creates two entries for AS-CHM-NMR-ShareInstAccts under the Advanced security settings. Click on the links to get a screen-shot of the detailed permissions:
Note: The detailed permission settings are created when one just selects "List folder contents" and "Write". Fortunately one doesn't have to hand-select these detailed (Advanced) permissions, and they are simply documented here as an FYI.
