Collaborating With Others By Sharing Jobs

Last updated: July 19th, 2023

Overview

This page walks you through the job sharing feature, designed to foster enhanced collaboration within your team! This guide will walk you through how you can seamlessly share your running or completed jobs with others, promoting efficient knowledge sharing, team collaboration, and more productive workflows.

Whether you’re sharing real-time insights from running jobs or completed job results, Rescale’s job sharing feature ensures that your team stays connected, informed, and agile.

Sharing allows other users to view the setup of your job on Rescale. All files associated with that job will be shared with the recipient.

For any assistance, our dedicated support team is always ready to help.

Sharing Jobs with Other Users

  1. Open the Job Sharing Interface: Browse your list of jobs and select the ‘Share’ button.

  1. Specify the Recipient: In the job-sharing interface, input the recipient’s email address. You may include a brief optional message before clicking the ‘Share’ button. Please be aware that the recipient will have access to all files associated with the job, including both input and output files.

Recipient Access: The recipient will receive an email containing a link to the shared job. They can now explore the job setup, SSH into the running job for real-time insights, or view and download output files if the job is completed.

Note: If the recipient is not a registered Rescale user, an error message will appear. An invitation request will be automatically sent to your workspace and organization administrators to invite the new user. Once the new user is set up, you can successfully share the job.

Revoke access to a shared job

To revoke access to a job you shared with a collaborator or Rescale support:

  1. Go to the Jobs List page.
  2. In the Shared column for the selected job, click the Shared User icon.
