Share Information

Every individual (faculty, staff and students) is automatically granted an EdShare account for their personal use. Each department of the university also has a shared space for that department. Cost Center Managers and Deans are responsible for maintaining the department shares. If you wish to setup a special directory or "share" for a class or for a cross departmental committee you may do so. These shares may only be created by faculty or staff, but students may be added to the shares.

Special shares have the following characteristics:

  • The share name is proceeded by s_
  • Any currently enrolled student or employed faculty or staff may be added to a share
  • Shares may only be added or maintained by faculty or staff
Creating a Share
  1. Faculty or staff need to login to Staff Information on the Web at https://admin.stedwards.edu/cgi-bin/staff/frame.cgi.
  2. Click on the link for EdShare Information.
  3. Click on the link for Maintain Shared Access.
  4. Click on the Add New Share button.
  5. Enter a name for the share.
    Note: The share name is limited to 14 characters and may
    only contain the characters a-z, 0-9, and '_'. There should be no spaces in the name. Whatever you enter for the name will be proceeded by s_ in the final name of the share.
  6. Type a description for the share.
  7. Click on the Submit New Share button. Note: The share will be available for adding names of people with access to the share, but it will not actually be created and available for use until after 4:00 am.
  8. You will be returned to the Maintain Shared Access screen. From here you can add members to your new share. You will see the name of the share which consists of the prefix s_and the name you gave it in step 5. You will also see the owner of the share and any existing members. To add members click on the Update button. Maintain Shared Access
  9. To add members, enter one St. Edward's login name per line. The login name is the first part of the student, faculty or staff email address.
  10. When you have finished adding names, click on the Submit Share Changes button. Note: The changes will not be processed until 4:00 am.
