[ome-users] Sharing with OMERO.web

[Aleksandra Tarkowska]

Hi Mark

Your understanding of the collaboration strategy is correct but  
default permissions were lowered to rw---- in previous versions  
because of various difficulties with the security system. This is the  
reason that other members of that group cannot see the data (it is  
only visible to the owner of that group). In that case you might want  
to share group owner account. Then everyone who wants to see that data  
can login as "group owner" and view it.

In order to allow group-sharing, a revamp of the permissions is  
planned for 4.2. For more details please take a look on the work plan  
page in http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/WorkPlan/Permissions

Thanks
Ola
