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 :

• images : jpeg, bmp, gif, png, svg …
• videos : mp4, ogv, webm, h264

Initially all the users in the Public team can use the addon but of course they can only open files for which they have read Unix access rights on teh system where the file is located. This teams and members that can access the viewer can be modified by the administrator.
