Service updates
- New Service - Self-Service Share Management Portal
We have launched a new service which will provide project IAOs and IAAs the ability to almost instantly create new shares for your projects and add/remove users from your existing shares. The system is accessible from the DSH Desktop therefore you will need an active DSH account. If you are an IAO or IAA then you will see DSH Share Management in the start menu and 2 programs called Share Manager and Share Request. Share Manager allows you to manage who has access to the shares you manage. Share Request allows you to create a share against a Project that you manage. Further information is available in the Service Requests page - Service Requests.
If possible please could you start using this tool now for new share and add/remove user to share requests. New user accounts still need to use the online request form however we have now included a field in this form where you can enter the name of the share to add them to so you no longer need to submit an add/remove to share form as well. If you require access to this tool but your DSH account is disabled then please contact dsh-support@ucl.ac.uk. If there are any other problems with accessing or using this tool then please let us know.
