Collaborative projects in molecular modeling often involve extensive document sharing. Whether it’s research reports, computational models, or project workflows, managing and sharing documents efficiently is often a pain point for molecular modelers. Let’s explore how SAMSON Connect can help you streamline this process while maintaining granular control over access rights.
Seamless Document Publishing
With SAMSON Connect, you can publish your documents directly from within the SAMSON platform. This eliminates the need to rely on external platforms for sharing files. To get started, navigate to Home > Publish within SAMSON:
Flexibility in Sharing Options
While publishing a document, you can define its visibility based on the intended audience:
- Public: Accessible to everyone with viewing capabilities, but editing rights require specific permissions.
- Hidden: Only individuals with the direct link can access the document, with similar editing controls as public access.
- Restricted: Fully private and secured, where access and editing require explicit permissions tailored to your needs.
In the publishing dialog, you can specify the document's name, provide a detailed description, and choose the desired visibility level:
Managing Shared Documents
SAMSON Connect makes it easy to manage the documents you own or collaborate on. To access the list of shared files, go to Documents in your User Menu on SAMSON Connect.
Edit Settings with Precision
If you are a document owner or an assigned editor, you can modify document settings directly. These customization options include renaming the document, updating its description, and adjusting visibility settings (Public, Hidden, or Restricted).
Granular Access Control
Transparency and control are essential when working collaboratively. As a document owner, you can grant access rights to specific users or entire groups. This allows you to share resources effortlessly while maintaining full control over who can view, edit, or manage your assets.
You can even invite collaborators who don’t yet have a SAMSON account via email, making it simpler for diverse teams to come together.
Why This Matters
Managing molecular modeling projects often involves dealing with sensitive data and ensuring seamless collaboration across dispersed teams. SAMSON Connect’s document sharing capabilities offer a unified, secure, and user-friendly solution to these challenges.
