Information about Shares

When you share a given resource (i.e a device) between registered users, this is called a share. By specifying a resource class and a unique resource identifier, the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) APIs support sharing the resource. When a resource is shared by the owner, the resource for the target user contains updated grant information. Following are conditions for shared devices:

  • Currently, only devices a collection of devices may be shared.
  • Only the owner to whom the device has been registered may share a device, unless an administrator is creating a share between two registered users.
  • A resource may be shared to one or more registered user.
  • Share access controls access rights: A resource can be shared with read/write permissions or with a particular role. The access control for devices shared with a role depends on the access control of the role on the resource.
  • Devices shared with LAN-Mode enabled, always have read/write access irrespective of the access control with which it is shared.
  • Shares may include a start and end timestamp.
  • Sharing supports custom email templates for share notifications on creation.
  • A user cannot have more than one share for the same Resource Name and Resource ID.
