Configure a Share With Rake Tasks

Rake tasks can be used to configure and manage IBM Aspera Shares on Demand users, groups, shares, and nodes from the command line. To run a rake task, first do the following:

Go to the shares folder: cd /opt/aspera/shares/u/shares/bin
Test that your rake tasks are working correctly.
```
./run rake -T
```

The following rake tasks cover how to create, modify, and delete a share and how to manage a user or group's share permissions.
