[ome-users] Sharing data with specific users

[Paulo Almeida]

Hi Josh,

Thanks, I hadn't seen that ticket (10640). It wouldn't be an ideal
solution for this user, because someone from the service would have to
own the group (impossible if there's more than one service and
cumbersome to manage even if there is only one), but of course the new
ticket you opened would solve that use case.

Cheers,
Paulo
