Data Sharing

To share data within an institute or a research group (both ETH/ITET internal only) in a save manner a so called project account is the easiest way.

Organizational/technical Overview

Some facts about project accounts:

Project Owner

Each project is owned by a personal D-ITET/TARDIS account. The owner, as person in charge, is our contact person.

Project Group

Each project account has its own group, i.e. itet-isg-<projectname>. To access the project's data a group membership is necessary. The project's owner determines who is permitted to become a project member. Only valid D-ITET/TARDIS accounts can become a member of a project account. To share data with people from other ETH organization a D-ITET guest account must be ordered first.

Data Access

As a standard setup the project data can be accessed read/write by all project members via NFS and Samba (in parallel). Since the access is permitted via each members credential (i.e. username and password) the project's account password must not be known. If needed the project account's password is handed over to the project owner. The password must not be shared.

A different access setup is also possible. Details must be arranged individually.

itet-stor

Using itetstor is the easiest way to find the project's data. For each project one is a member of a link is available in the personal link list.

Keep in mind a project account never has a link list, therefore neither

\\itet-stor\<projectname>

nor

/itet-stor/<projectname>

does exit.

Project Request

To order a new project account just send an email (Subject: New project account <projectname>) to support@ee.ethz.ch containing these specifications:
