Once the shared collection is created, you will be shown the current access list, with only your account on it. Since sharing is of little use without someone to share with, click on the <i>Add Permissions -- Share With</i> button to add people or groups that you wish to share with. | |||

In the following form, the <i>Path</i> is relative to the share and that in many cases you simply want to share the whole collection, so the path will be just <code>/</code>. But, for example, if you want to share only a sub-directory called "Subdir-01" to a specific group of people, you may specify <code>/Subdir-01/</code> or use the <i>Browse</i> button to select it. | |||

Next in the form, you are prompted to select whether to share with people via email, username, or group. | |||
* Email is a good choice if you don’t know a person’s username on Globus. It will also allow you to share with people who do not currently have a Globus account, though they will need to create one to be able to access your share. | * <i>User</i> presents a search box that allows you to provide an email address or to search by name or by Globus username. | ||

** This is best if someone already has a Globus account, as it does not require any action on their part to be added to the share. Enter a name or Globus username (if you know it), and select the appropriate match from the list, then click <i>Use Selected</i>. | |||
* <i>Group</i> allows you to share with a number of people simultaneously. You can search by group name or UUID. Group names may be ambiguous, so be sure to verify you are sharing with the correct one. This can be avoided by using the group’s UUID, which is available on the Groups page (see the section on groups) | * <i>Group</i> allows you to share with a number of people simultaneously.
