Share a chat
This guide shows you how to share a chat with people in your project, choose what they can do, and stop sharing.
People you share a chat with can read it live and send messages to it. The assistant runs in your workspace, with your credentials and your model allowance. Share only with people you would trust at your keyboard. For more information, see Sharing chats.
Sharing is available only in a SecurSpaces workspace that supports it. If you don't see Share in a chat's ⋯ menu, your workspace doesn't offer sharing.
You can't share a temporary chat. To share it, keep it first. For more information, see Use a temporary chat.
Share a chat
-
In the sidebar, point to the chat, select ⋯, and then select Share. Or, in an open chat, select More actions (⋯), and then Share.The Share chat dialog opens.
-
Under People who can open your shared chats, choose one of the following:
-
Everyone in the project: every member of your SecurSpaces project.
-
Select project members: only the people you choose.
This choice applies to every chat you share. -
-
Select Share chat.
-
Select Copy link, and send the link to the people you chose. Ask them to paste it into their browser's address bar. A link they click in Teams, an email, or another website takes them to the SecurSpaces sign-in page instead.
Each person needs both: to be in the audience you chose, and to have the chat's link.
The chat now shows Shared in the sidebar and at the top of the chat. When someone has the chat open, the top of the chat shows how many people are there.
Choose what people can do
Once a chat is shared, the Share chat dialog shows What people in this chat can do, with Work with files. It's off until you turn it on. With it on, they can open, download, edit, and add files in the chat's folder. They can't delete, rename, or move files.
Work with files isn't available for a chat whose folder is your home folder, or contains it. The dialog says why.
See who opened the chat
The Share chat dialog lists everyone who opened the chat, with Here now or when they were last there.
Stop sharing
-
Open the Share chat dialog. Select Share in the chat's ⋯ menu, or Shared at the top of the chat.
-
Select Stop sharing, and confirm.
Everyone you shared the chat with loses access immediately. Their page says "Sharing has ended".
Deleting a shared chat also ends sharing for everyone.
If the link doesn't open
The Share chat dialog tells you when something is wrong with the link. For example: "The link won't open yet: the workspace app for shared chats is not online." Follow what the message says.
If people see the SecurSpaces sign-in page, and then the project's overview, they clicked the link somewhere else, such as in Teams or an email. Ask them to paste the link into their browser's address bar.
