Description

The requirement for implementation.

1. A 'Shared' data directory per gateway. User can access files within through storage or through 'Create Experiment', 'Edit Experiment' or 'Clone Experiment'
2. This directory will be created at gateway deployment, through Ansible scripts.
3. This shared directory will not be deletable by any gateway user, including admins.
4. Gateway admins can create, delete sub directories under and add, remove files. When selected to delete a confirmation will be prompted. 
5. Gateway users and read-only-admin users can use the added files.
6. This directory will appear top of the storage for every user.
7. When deploying the gateway the option will be available to either create this directory or not. At any point if gateway admins request this feature, the SciGaP admins will need to run a deployment and enable to 'Shared' directory.
