GWS etiquette

This article highlights the essential principles of working with group workspaces.

Keeping informed  

Please maintain contact throughout the life of the GWS via the following methods:

• Using the JASMIN dashboard  to check on the status of your GWS (used versus available space).
• Using the GWS Scanner User Interface to check on where, for how long and by whom, space is being used.
• GWS Managers should configure the GWS Scanner to gather the above information and arrange email alerts.
• Look out for emails from the CEDA/JASMIN team
• The CEDA status  page and News articles on the CEDA  or JASMIN  websites which may be used to post messages regarding system status or security.

If you are aware that a user who has access to your GWS leaves your project, or, for whatever reason, no longer needs to be a member of the GWS, please let the CEDA helpdesk know, as arrangements may need to be made to transfer the ownership of files and/or directories to another member of the GWS (e.g. the manager) to ensure continued access to the data.
