Authenticated shares

In CERNBox it's possible to share both folders or single files with other authenticated users.

In a folder/file context menu ( or right-click) click in Share. This will open the right sidebar, on the Share with people section, where it's possible to search for users (including external accounts registered at the CERN SSO, see Accounts supported).

By default, the search only returns the primary accounts and groups. To search for other types of accounts, click in the drop-down "Primary/Groups".

Searching for users

Users/groups can have Can view or Can edit permissions. To remove a share, click in the button next to the person/group and then on Remove share.

Sharing roles

To have an overview of everything that is being shared with others, just click in Shares - Shared with others on the left menu.

After setting the permissions (sharing with someone), it's also possible to copy the url of the file/folder and give it to the receiving user (see Universal URLs).
