Anyone with a Research Computing account should be able to change directories(folders) to top-level lab space listings:
cd /dartfs-hpc/rc/lab/T/ or /dartfs/rc/lab/T/
then cd to the lab share name
cd /dartfs-hpc/rc/lab/T/<TheLabShareName>
Here is a command to see who has what permissions:
listacl .
Test to see if you have permissions to change directories into a subfolder:
cd <TheSubfolderName>
if you can navigate to a certain subfolder, you can list the files, and likely use "more" to read a text file if there is one in the directory
ls
more junkfile.txt
(ctrl z to exit if the file is long)
to test write permissions, the 'touch' command can be used to create a quick text file in a directory, if the user has write permissions:
touch junkfile.txt
