Setting up a FC2 drive (for writers_forum)

Step 1: Request the drive through Fileshare Request in the Service Catalog under Security and Access https://suny.service-now.com/
Step 2: Decide on a share name: writers_forum
Step 3: Who will need access? A consistent group, or will it change from year to year? Will everyone have read/write access to all folders, will some remain private, and/or will some users only be able to read, but not write?
Step 4: Provide a list of netids for access. (CORE: apanning, rwblack, rcushman, kmyers, ccowling. GRAD: Cwess1) – Will need to add bcherry.
Step 5: When share owner is notified, they need to let the users know. In theory, anyone can then map the drive to their desktop.

Kim,

We don't contact anyone when it's done. You are listed as the owner.

Any of them will be able to map the drive to a drive letter of their choice. If they need help with this, they can contact the helpdesk or there is probably a knowledge base article somewhere (I haven't dug into that part of Service Now yet...).

If you want, I could send the ticket back to the Helpdesk and they may be able to advise you better...?
