If you want to allow users outside of your account to see the status of some of the devices in your eet, Switchboard has
implemented —which, like Contact Lists, are also subsets of your codec eet that you can dene. You can invite
other Switchboard accounts to add your Shares, and your codecs become visible to them.
To create a Share, click the Sharing tab and then select Add New Share.
The following screen then allows you to choose which codec(s) you want to include in this Share.
Aer you make your selecon, you’ll need to enter one of the following to idenfy the account you wish to Share
your unit(s) with: the ocial name of that account as it’s listed in Switchboard; or the email address for the account’s
administrator (which must match the email Switchboard has for that user).
An email will then be sent from the server asking the user to conrm your Share. Once they’ve conrmed the Share, your
Shared devices will appear as opons in their contact list menu.
Please note: Shares are a one-way transacon. If you want a Share to be two-way—i.e., one where the person you’re
Sharing a unit with (a.k.a. the “external user”) also allows you see their own unit(s)—you both must rst
send
each other
a Share invitaon and then each
accept
the other’s invitaon.
