Setup a connection
A secure, authenticated connection is essential for sharing installation data securely.
As an administrator, you can create a new connection or authenticate an existing connection from another account. This functionality is available exclusively to administrators and can be found at the top right under Modules.
Create a new connection
Once you have opened the Sharing installations module and clicked Configure, you can create a new connection at the very bottom.
Setting up a new connection is easy. Click on the button provided and enter a name and, if desired, a description.
Info
We recommend using the name of the other organization as the connection name. This way you always know who you are in contact with, even if they change their name. The name of the connection can always be changed later
After creating the connection, a token is generated. Share this token securely with an administrator of the account involved. Only when they authenticate the connection will it become active and data exchange can start securely.
Authenticate connection
When you receive a token from another organization, activate the connection via the Authenticate connection button in the Share installations module and give it a clear name.
Info
We recommend using the name of the other organization as the connection name. This way you always know who you are in contact with, even if they change their name. The name of the connection can always be changed later
Once this process is completed, the administrators within both your account and the other account will be notified. You can now request a share!
