Sharing a Bundle

Sharing of the Bundle is managed in the Sharing tab. You can share your Bundle with other accounts using the Sharing option and allow them to install and use your assets.

note

Sharing tab is visible only if you are the owner of the Bundle.

The Sharing tab lists all the accounts with which this Bunlde is shared, along with the following information:

Parameter	Description
Account ID	Account ID that this bundle is shared with.
Shared By	The email address of the user within this account who shared the bundle with this specified account ID.
Date	The date on which the Bundle was shared.
Action	Option to remove the ability for the specified account ID to access the Bundle that was added to the table with the "Share Bundle" tab on the page. If you remove the new entry with "Remove" option, then the Bundle is no longer shared with that account and they can no longer see it or install it.

Bundle Visibility

Bundle Visibility refers to the type of visibility assigned to the Bundle:

• Private - Private Bundles are accessible only to users of the Bundle owner’s account.
• Shared - Shared Bundles are accessible only to the users of the accounts explicitly added to that Bundle’s sharing list.
• Public - Public Bundles are shared with all Boomi accounts who have access to the Bundle URL.

To configure Bundle visibility, see Bundle Visibility configuration.

The Bundle can be shared when it is Shared or Public. You cannot share the Bundles for which the Bundle Visibility is set to Private. You can revoke access to a Bundle by changing its visibility to Private. To share a private Bundle, select Bundle visibility and select Shared to share with added accounts or select Public to share publicly with any account.

Bundle owners can share a Bundle with others using the following options:

• Through account ID. For more information, see Sharing a Bundle using account ID.
• Through URL. For more information, see Sharing a Bundle using URL.

Sharing a Bundle using an account ID

1. Select the visibility of Bundle as Shared or Public under Bundle visibility.

2. To share a Bundle with an account, add the account to the sharing list of the Bundle.

   Follow any of the following:

   • In the My Bundles tab, select the Bundle you want to share, click the ellipsis at the end of the row to expand the menu, and click to add the account ID.

     OR

   • In the My Bundles tab, click on the Bundle name link to go inside the Bundle and click . In the Account IDs field, add the ID of the account with which you want to share the Bundle. You can add multiple account IDs separated by a comma, space, or a new line in the account ID field.

     OR

   • In the My Bundles tab, click on the Bundle name link to go inside the Bundle and navigate to the Sharing tab and click Share Bundle. In the Account IDs field, add the ID of the account with which you want to share the Bundle. You can add multiple account IDs separated by a comma, space, or a new line in the account ID field.

3. Click Share to finish.

note

No validation is performed when an account is added to the sharing list of a Bundle. That means even if the account ID sent does not exist or is not a Boomi user account; it will still get added to the sharing target list.

To remove an account from the sharing list of the Bundle, select the account you want to remove and click Remove.

Sharing a Bundle using URL

Another option to share a Bundle is sharing the Bundle URL. A Bundle owner can share a Bundle URL with others using the copy Bundle URL option in the Bundle UI.

note

Other platform users can use this copied URL to view or install a Bundle only if the Bundle visibility is Public or if the Bundle visibility is Shared and it is shared explicitly with that user using the Sharing tab in the Bundle UI. If it is sent to a person who does not have access to that Bundle, they will see the “Bundle doesn't exist" page.

To copy a Bundle URL and share it with other Boomi users:

1. On the Bundles page, click on the Bundle name link.
2. Inside the Bundle page, click the Sharing tab.
3. Copy the URL from the Bundle URL field using the copy icon and share this URL with the intended users.

note

If you are the Bundle owner, you have the option to copy the sharing URL using the copy button icon in the header to share the public URL more easily.

This URL will take you directly to the shared Bundle page.

Bundle Visibility configuration

To change the Bundle visibility, Publisher information must be configured in the Publisher settings page on the Bundle UI. Admins can access this page using the Publisher Settings button added to the upper right of the Boomi Labs page. When changing the Bundle visibility, you will receive a user-specific alert message if your account does not have Publisher information set in the settings page.
