Guide for creating a shared folder for Non-UW outside collaborators on Research Drive

Step-by-step guide

1. Obtain the name of the folder the Lab P.I. wishes to share as well as the names and email addresses of the collaborators.
   
   
   
   
   
2. In AD, create two groups; one for
   1. The first group will be the Outside Lab Access group that will need Research Drive Share permissions
   , and one for the specific outside collaborators (note*
   1. . Naming system: ssit-(department)-(lab name)-OutsideLabAccess
      1. *Note - this group will not have share permissions, just folder permissions.  Share permissions will instead be added to the parent outsidelab access group in AD).

         1. Add this group to the first group, in this example: ssit-crb-wellik-OutsideLabAccess
            
            
3. email researchdrive@wisc.edu and request to have the outside parent group added to "share permissions" for the lab P.I.'s drive

   2. Only if the Outside group isn't created.

5. If sharing to another party within UW-Madison share the word doc within the SSIT-Labs Files section within teams.
   1. Download the word doc and alter the research drive path to the correct on with the folder included.
      
      
      
6. If sharing to an outside organization, email the outside collaborator and let them know that they will receive an email from manifest@doit.wisc.edu with an invitation to Research Drive.  Let them know this email will have them create a UW NetID.  Ask them to send this NetID to us once they receive it (usually 72 hours or less).  If the outside collaborator has not received the NetID within 72 hours, email activedirectory@doit.wisc.edu to inquire about the delay.

   1. Send an invite to the outside collaborator's email address through the Lab P.I.'s external group in manifest (see the invitations section)
