54. Share

Warning

Shares is a discontinued feature since OMERO.web 5.9.0. In particular, share creation is no longer supported in OMERO.web. However, previously created shares can still be viewed.

See https://omero-guides.readthedocs.io/projects/introduction/en/latest/data-management.html#shares-discontinued-feature

Note

In case OMERO.iviewer is installed on the server, opening of the image in full viewer steps will fail. Instead, iviewer opens a dialog saing Image not found.

To test in: Web

Purpose of the test is to check the Share feature in Web, visibility, and annotation possibility

1. Make sure you have 2 users, in two different groups, e.g. user user-1 and user user-3 in groups private-1 and read-annotate-1 as described in Table of permissions - user set

   • User user-3 has images in read-annotate-1.

   • User user-1 is not a member of read-annotate-1 and cannot see the images of user-3 in read-annotate-1.

2. Log in as user-3 and in read-annotate-1, select an image and click on the “Globe” icon in the top icon bar [Share001:]

   • Check that a pop-up dialog is displaying indicating that Shares are not supported.

3. Select 3 or more images in the left-hand pane, note their IDs and use the create_share.py script to create a share of these images with user-1:

   python create_share.py user-1 image_id_1 image_id_2 image_id_3
   

   • go to the Shares tab

   • Check that the share has been created with the correct number of images

4. Try to edit (pencil symbol - General tab, right pane).[Share004:][Share005:]

   • Check that you can edit the share and save the changes.

   • Check that you can disable the Share by ticking off the Enable box and that after this the share is listed in the tree as light grey.

   • Check that you can change the expiry date. [Share003]

   • Check that when you edit one Share, save the changes and immediately try to edit another share, the changes get updated immediately and the share dialogs change the share you ARE just editing, not the one you HAVE just edited.

5. Remove one image from the share using the scissors icon above left-hand pane

   • Check that the tree and the middle pane updates

6. Delete one of the images in the share going back to Data pane and using the Delete icon

   • Reload the share in Shares tab

   • Check that an Object deleted item is displayed in the tree.

   • Check that Delete Key on keyboard has no effect neither on selected images in Share nor on the Share itself in the tree.

7. Log out and log in as user user-1. Go to Shares tab (left-hand Panel). Select the share.

   • Check that you CANNOT edit the share - the pencil symbol is not present.

   • Check that you cannot remove images from the Share.

   • Check that the number of images in the share [right-hand panel] is correct i.e. Share Count [Share006]

   • Check that all the panes are available (Preview with all Rnd settings except Save, Acquisition, General with the info, but no Annotations).

   • Check that you cannot run any scripts on the images (scripts menu is disabled)

   • Note limitation of Full viewer. Double-click on an image in tree and Check that Full viewer opens.[Share007:].

   • Note limitation of Full viewer. Double-click on a thumbnail in central pane and Check that Full viewer (the old, inbuilt viewer of OMERO.web) opens. [Share007:].

   • Note limitation of Full viewer. Click on the Full Viewer button in right-hand pane and Check that Full Viewer opens [Share007:]

   • Note limitation of Full viewer. Check that you can change rendering settings in Full Viewer, but cannot Save the changes.

   • Check that images in the share cannot be annotated (i.e. rate, tags etc.) i.e. the General tab has no choices in its lower part.[Share008:]

   • Check that you can comment on the share (right-hand pane).
