[ome-users] Sharing with OMERO.web

[Woodbridge, Mark R]

I have created a new group with the owner set to a new generic user, added the departing user to that group, and logged into OMERO.web as the generic user. I still can't see any images on the 'share' tab, even when I select the user's name in the drop-down. Am I missing something?

Mark.

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

Hi,

I have a question about the existing sharing functionality. We have a researcher who is leaving and wants his images to be accessible to his current colleagues. It looks like it should be possible to do this by putting them in the same user group (using webadmin) then his colleagues can go to webclient > Team, select his name and see his images. But no images appear. Am I doing something wrong? The alternative is for him to go through all his images and share them using the basket but this is slow and doesn't keep the project/dataset hierarchy. I'm assuming that neither approach allows people to see his images in insight, but I gather this is in progress (according to Josh's message).

Any help would be appreciated,

Mark.
