Thanks Jennifer; but it raises another question.  When I try that, it says there are 113 datasets and I've delete all by 18 or 19 of the final versions.  Plus I've used a phenomenal amount of space.  I *do* really want to delete all but the final groomed datasets; those are the ones I want to share with specific users.

Do I have to go through and view each of them and click on the "really delete" link?   I can't tell if it's working.

Hello,

Admin permissions are not required to share/publish a history containing
datasets. Use "Options -> Share or Publish" to view the options:

1 - generate a link that you can email to specific users
2 - publish the dataset publicly so that everyone can view it under
"Shared Data -> Published Histories".
3 - enter in specific user accounts to grant access. You will need to
know their Galaxy account's email address.

This creates "Shared History" content, but not "Data Libraries" (which
is for local instances). Simply put the data that you want to share into
a history to group it together and it will provide the same functionality.

Hopefully this helps,

Best,

Jen
