Creating a New Share

Note: You must be a system admin, an organization admin, or a project admin to perform these operations.

A share is a directory and it’s contents. It is available on a node. Each share exists on one, and only one node. Shares are assigned to organizations and projects by system and organization admins. Organizations and projects can contain any number of shares.

  1. Select the project from the organization home page and go to Settings > Shares.
  2. Click New Share.
  3. Select a node from the list of available nodes. If no nodes are available, contact your system or organization administrator to grant node access to your project..
  4. Name the share.
  5. Select an available path from the root path.
  6. Choose the path for the directory.
    You can either enter the directory path or click Browse to navigate to and select a directory. If you click the Browse button, Shares shows you the node's file directory structure. You can navigate to or search for an existing folder, or you can create a new folder at the current location.

    Once set, users with access to this share can only perform actions from within the scope of this directory.

    Note: If you do not choose or enter a directory path, the directory defaults to the root directory (/).
  7. Click Create.
