Identity Selection

When the Share with selector is enabled, users will be able to select any available Identity to share the message with. This can be an alias identity (person) or non-alias identity (group). The following identities are not available for the user to select:

• System identities (Team identities, Forum Reader, etc.)

• The user’s own identity (Sharing a message with oneself is not supported)

When the user initially picks the selector, a list of certain pre-set options will be available, as shown in Figure 35.

Figure 36.

This list will include:

• World

• The item’s Creator (created_by_id)

• The item’s current Owner (owned_by_id), if set

• The item’s current Manager (managed_by_id), if set

• The ItemType’s default visibility identity if set

These presets just make it easier to pick some of the common identities that may be used in typical messaging situations. Note that if assignments of Owner or Manager change later, it does not change the visibility of already-created messages (all messages are set to a specific Identity at time of creation).

If the user starts to type a name, the system will display matching Identity names. At any point the user can pick the desired Identity name.
