If you are a workgroup administrator, you set up eArray for the users
in your workgroup after Agilent approves your workgroup's registration
and sets up your workgroup administrator account. Setting up eArray is
a flexible process, but you may wish follow these steps:
Log in to eArray and familiarize yourself
with the features, structure, and navigation of the site. The help topics
Learn to navigate eArray and
Folders, roles,
and privileges in eArray may be especially useful.
Create an initial folder structure for
the workgroup. A newly-created workgroup has only one folder, the workgroup's
main folder, but you can add
subfolders to it. One structure that may work for your workgroup is
to create subfolders for specific workgroup areas of interest, and then
create subfolders within these for the individual users involved in each
area. You do not need to set up the entire workgroup folder structure
— individual users can
also add subfolders as needed, provided you grant them the appropriate
access privileges. You can also alter the structure later.
Add user accounts to the workgroup.
You can create new user accounts yourself,
and inform the new users of the login names and initial passwords you
created for them. Alternatively, workgroup members can go to the eArray
Web site (earray.chem.agilent.com) and register
themselves. If they do this, eArray notifies you by e-mail. You then
search for the users. These users have
already specified their login names, contact information, and passwords,
so all you need to do is to enable
their accounts.
Set user access privileges. When you
set access privileges, you
define the folders that each user can access.
