Creates a new Share to allow public iModel access.
iModels Share API provides a way to publicly share an iModel. Each Share instance has a shareKey
property which allows anonymous access to the shared iModel using iModels API.
To use the shareKey
to access the iModel one has to provide shareKey
via Authorization
header: Authorization: Basic {shareKey}
, when calling iModels API.
All Share operations interact only with the Share instances that the calling user has created. E.g. querying iModel Shares will not return all the Shares iModel has, but only the Shares which were created by the user who is calling the API.
Authentication
Requires Authorization
header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.
Authorization

permission assigned at the iTwin level or be an Organization Administrator for the Organization that owns a given iTwin.

Important: Share operations are in closed preview mode currently. Hence only selected applications can utilize the Share API.
