Sharing Assets Across Organizations

In TIBCO Cloud, as an organization owner, you can configure how all organizations in the family can share Asset with other organizations in the family. This feature is useful to cloud services that use TIBCO Cloud Mesh: Services.

Asset-Sharing Scenarios

Consider a parent organization - ACME with three child organizations - HR, Finance, and Legal. All these organizations have created assets in their subscriptions and would like to share these assets with each other.

• Parent organizations sharing assets with their child organizations.

  For example, ACME is configured to share assets with HR, Finance, and Legal organizations.

  

• Child organizations sharing assets with the parent organization.

  For example, HR and Legal organizations are configured to share assets with the parent organization ACME.

  

• Child organizations sharing assets with parent and other organizations in the family.

  For example, HR is configured to share assets with ACME, Finance, and Legal organizations.

  

• Child organizations sharing with other child organizations in the family, but not with the parent organization.

  For example, Finance is configured to share with HR and Legal organizations, but not with ACME.

  

You can create a list that either includes organizations with which you want to share the assets or organizations with which you do not want to share any assets.

Points to Note

• Organization owners can configure sharing of assets across organizations.

• In the family, parent organization owners can control whether child organizations in the family can share assets with each other.

• If owners of parent organization do not enable the sharing option for child organizations, then the child organizations cannot see the Cross-organization sharing section on the Settings > Organization tab. Existing cross-organization settings are ignored if the owner of the parent organization has not enabled the sharing for child organizations.

• Whether to configure to share with the parent organization is at the discretion of the child organization owners. Parent organization owners have no control over this setting.

• Organization owners can select the organizations with which to share assets or select those organizations with which to not share any assets.

  • If you change this setting, a warning is displayed and after you confirm, the previous sharing setting is cleared.

• Organization owners can update the list of selected organizations at any time.

• If you delete an organization that is part of one or more of the sharing lists, it is deleted from all those lists as well.

Sharing Assets with Other Organizations

Organization owners can use this feature to configure sharing of their assets with other organizations, and is of more use to TIBCO Cloud Mesh users than other TIBCO Cloud users.

Procedure

1. On the Settings tab, in the Organization > Organization settings > Cross-organization sharing section, select whether you want to share the assets with specific organizations or you want to share with all organizations but exclude a few.

   Note: You can switch between these two options any time. However, when you switch the setting, the former setting and the associated list is cleared.

2. If you want to share assets with specific organizations, click the Add org(s) to share with button.
   

3. In the Add organization(s) to share with dialog, select the organizations from the displayed list and click Add org(s) to Share with list. Optionally, you can also search by organization or tag names.

   

4. If you select to share with all organizations except a few in step 1, in the Add organization(s) to share with dialog, select the organizations from the displayed list and click Add org(s) to Exclude list.

   If you do not specify any organizations to exclude, it implies that the assets can be shared with all the organizations in the family.
