Link Sharing

Link sharing enables you to create a secret link which provides access to your record. The link can also have an expiry date. If the person you want to share a record with already has a KTH Data Repository account, you can also use user sharing.

Permissions

You can give the secret link one of the following three permissions:

  • Can view: Grants access to view restricted/embargoed files of all current and future versions of a published record.
  • Can preview draft: Grants access to view drafts (unpublished records) and restricted/embargoed files of all current and future versions of a record/draft.
  • Can edit: Grants access to edit drafts and view restricted/embargoed files of all current and future versions of a record.

Note: The permissions apply to all current and future versions of a record/draft.
