Hi all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Further to a question or two I had a week or so ago, I’ve been following this:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5/developers/Web/PublicData.html" class="">http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5/developers/Web/PublicData.html</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m at the point where I’ve got a public user and a public group and I’ve got a string in the OMERO config such that:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Andale Mono'; color: rgb(41, 249, 20); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">
omero.web.public.url_filter=/webgateway</div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">But what next?</div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I can *see* the public user in the OMERO web client. It has Read-Only permissions set on the user/group.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So how does one then (as themselves or a “normal” user of OMERO and not the public-data user) effectively “copy” data into that user/group that lives in the public space?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">An example.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">* Researcher A wants some of the images he/she has created to be linked to in a paper. He/she wants a one-click solution in OMERO to provide this to a journal or paper.</div>
<div class="">* The researcher already has plenty of data in OMERO sitting in his/her account under his/her own login and username, but that isn’t “public data”.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">How or what steps in the OMERO GUI does a research take to “copy” their data (or pointers to it, depending on how omeroFS deals with these things…heh) so that it appears in the “public data” area such that it can be linked to like:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Consolas, 'Deja Vu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', monospace; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: 0.133000001311302px; line-height: 24px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><a href="http://blah.super.cool.fqdn/webgateway/img_detail/IMAGE_ID/" class="">http://blah.super.cool.fqdn/webgateway/img_detail/IMAGE_ID/</a></span></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To put it another way - how do they <b class="">designate</b> a piece of data to be “public” and then an appropriate or resulting public-data link is produced?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">I thought I had it figured out, but when I realised as a normal user (as in, a logged in general protected user of OMERO) that they couldn’t simply “copy” and “paste” or “create project” in the public-data area, I realised this might require more
thought. I’m effectively trying to help them create an environment where they themselves can designate data public with the click or two of a button and then simply paste a link - but…it doesn’t seem to be the case/or is that easy?</div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Or perhaps I’m missing something!</div>

<div class="">Talk soon and thank you for your time.</div>
