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
• News articles on the CEDA  or JASMIN  websites and by monitoring CEDA social media  feeds 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.
