Globus for Data Sharing and Collaboration
- Lee Liming
- Online
We will dive into the sharing and access control capabilities of Globus, focusing on how to create flexible, secure collaboration spaces for research data. Participants will learn how mapped and guest collections work, how to configure fine-grained data access permissions for individuals and groups, and how to use Globus Groups and institutional identities to manage access at scale.
Participants will create guest collections, assign permissions, and explore common sharing patterns such as “dropboxes” for data intake and multi-project folder structures. The emphasis is on practical, hands-on understanding of the tools and options available, setting the stage for a subsequent session focused on compliance-aware sharing and collaboration.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between mapped collections and guest collections and know when to use each.
- Create and manage shared collections for collaborative research.
- Configure and adjust permissions for users and groups.
- Use Globus Groups to support role-based and scalable access control models.
Audience: Researchers, lab managers, data stewards, research IT professionals, and system administrators supporting collaborative research.
