Bash
The bash feature is by default, restricted to members of the admin team. Users who are not members of the admin team will need to request permission to their administrator to use the bash tool.
Interactive Scripts
The interactive scripts are by default, usable by the members of the Public team (i.e. all users)

The Viewer addon allows the user to open pictures and videos directly from the cluster.
The supported file formats are :
