🗂️ Group Folders in B2DROP¶
Group Folders in B2DROP allow teams to collaborate in shared spaces, with controlled access and custom permissions.
🧑🤝🧑 Group members must have a B2DROP account, whether they are internal BSC users or external collaborators.
📩 How to Request a Group Folder¶
To request a Group Folder, send an email to:
📧 datamanagement@bsc.es
Include the following details:
- Group Folder name
- List of users (Full name + institutional email)
- Requested storage quota
- Associated project name
- Group administrator(s) (at least one)
- End date
- OnlyOffice permissions (yes/no)
👤 Managing Group Membership¶
To add new members to an existing Group Folder, email:
📧 datamanagement@bsc.es
Include for each new user:
- 🧑 Full name
- 📧 Institutional email address
- 🔐 Requested permissions (optional)
❗ IMPORTANT:
Group administrators must not add users or perform account management (disable users, reset passwords, etc.).
All such actions must be requested through datamanagement@bsc.es
⚙️ Assigning Groups and Permissions¶
Each Group Folder can contain one or more groups, with custom permissions assigned to each:
- ✏️ Write – Upload and modify files
- 🗑️ Delete – Remove files
- 🔗 Share – Share files internally or externally
🔧 If no specific permissions are defined, a default group will be created with Write, Delete, and Share rights.
