I made some minor comments on your modifications. I think we need input from other sites to see if they agree with this example of sharing data; if not, we might need site-specific tabs.

Before completing my review, I think we need input from other sites (and even within our group) if advising users to share data with groups through $VSC_DATA is really what we want to do (also see Alex' comment).

We discussed this in the last CUE meeting. This is our recommendation:

• Users that need to share data in a recurrent basis should preferably be part of the same Project/Virtual Organization. If that is not the case, they can use this solution based on groups.
• Users that need a one-time data share should use Globus (probably the share link functionality is enough). The solution based on groups should not be used for one-time shares to avoid explosion of groups.

I would like to revive this PR after months.
@lexming : What do you think of using tabs to cover different practices for different sites? In that way, my proposed changes can still stay in this "generic" page, and yet point at different practices in each VSC site.
If you are not in favor of using tabs, then I close this PR and put it somewhere in our KUL-specific pages.
Thanks in advance.
