Sharing Buckets

Tigris allows you to share buckets with other users from your organization or with users from other organizations. This feature allows you to collaborate with other users and organizations without having to create multiple buckets.

Sharing within an organization

To share a bucket within your organization, you need to have the necessary permissions.

If you are the bucket owner, you can share the bucket with other users from your organization. If you are an admin, you can share any bucket from your organization with other users.

To share a bucket within your organization:

• Go to the Tigris dashboard
• Click on the bucket you want to share
• Click on the Share button
• Select the users you want to share the bucket with and the role you want to assign to them
• Click on the Save button

The roles you can assign to the users are:

• Read Only: The user can read the content of the bucket
• Editor: The user can read and write the content of the bucket

Once the bucket is shared, the users you shared it with will be able to see it in their dashboard and access its content based on the role you assigned. The users will also be able to create access-keys for the shared bucket to access that bucket programmatically.

When the share is revoked, the access keys created by the shared users will no longer have access to the bucket.

Sharing with another organization

Tigris allows you to share a bucket with users from another organization. This feature is useful when you need to collaborate with users from another organization. The sharing is limited to access keys from the other organization.

To share a bucket with users from another organization:

• Receive the access key id (tid_access_key_id) from the user outside your organization you want to share the bucket
• Go to the Tigris dashboard
• Click on the bucket you want to share
• Click on the Share button
• Click on the Advanced Sharing
• Enter the tid_access_key_id in the input field "External ID"
• Click on the Save button

Once the bucket is shared, the user from the other organization will be able to access the bucket using the access key id you shared with them.
