Sharing notebooks

Notebook sharing scope

Private: The default sharing scope is private. Only the author himself and the administrator who has resource management rights are allowed to view/edit/delete the notebook, run the notebook code, view/edit the details of the notebook and change the sharing settings.

Public Search: All users (including anonymous users) can search and view resource details, but cannot view the resource. The shared user needs to apply for resource authorization for view permission.

When sharing public search permission, you can also share the view permission with designated departments/groups/users.

Public View: Allows all users (including anonymous users) to view, but cannot run the notebook code. When sharing public view permission, you can also share the edit permission with designated departments/groups/users.

Public Edit: Allows all users (logged-in users only) to edit the notebook and run the notebook code.

Designated: the designated one can be a department, a group, or a user.

When choosing "Designated Search/View/Edit", the designated department/group/user can search/view/edit the shared notebook and run the notebook code in "Resource Center > Notebook > Public / Share with me / My Organization / My Group".

The designated department option requires that the administrator has enabled the organizational structure (disabled by default) and turned on sharing to department configuration in the iportal.xml configuration file (turned off by default).

The designated group option requires that you have joined at least one group (either as a group creator or a group member) and have permission to contribute resources. That means only groups to which you have permission to contribute resources will be listed. For more information about creating, joining and using groups, please see: Use group. Meanwhile, the administrator needs to turn on the Share to Group configuration in the iportal.xml configuration file (turned on by default).

The designated user option requires that the administrator turns on the Share to User configuration in the iportal.xml configuration file (turned on by default). The administrator can also configure in the iportal.xml configuration file whether to list all users when sharing to designated users. If the number of users is large, the administrator can also set the search mode to fuzzy match in the iportal.xml configuration file to improve the efficiency of the search.
