How do I share it?

Sharing with someone with a UTeid

  1. Navigate to the directory that contains the file you wish to share and click on the "Share" icon to the right of the file.
  2. The Sharing page displays the current permissions on the chosen file. Click the "Add User/Group" link at the bottom of the Sharing page.
  3. To add a user or group choose one from your Contacts (in the navigation bar of webspace under Utilities) and click "Ok", or search for a user either by ID (enter the user's UT-EID) and click "Ok". If more than one user fits your search criteria, you will be prompted to choose the correct user.
  4. Adjust the permissions to "Yes" or "No" according to how you want this user to be able to access your data. For more information on types of permission, refer to File and Directory Sharing. Click "Apply Now" to effect the changes in permissions. Click "Back" in the upper right-hand corner to exit the Sharing screen.
