- If you are not the data’s owner, make sure you have permission to share the files.
- Make sure you are sharing with only those you intend to. Verify the person you add to the access list is the person you think, there are often people with the same or similar names. Remember that Globus usernames are not linked to Alliance usernames. The recommended method of sharing is to use the email address of the person you wish to share with, unless you have the exact account name.
- If you are sharing with a group you do not control, make sure you trust the owner of the group. They may add people who are not authorized to access your files.
- If granting write access, make sure that you have backups of important files that are not on the shared endpoint, as users of the shared endpoint may delete or overwrite files, and do anything that you yourself can do to a file.
- It is highly recommended that sharing be restricted to a subdirectory, rather than your top-level home directory.
