• SuperDesign (which is the source organization) creates a user group called “Stark Industries Team”. It adds to this group the users that need to be able to work on worlds in Stark Industries.

• SuperDesign sends a share request to Stark Industries (the destination organization).

• The Administrator of Stark Industries receives the share request by email, and accepts the request.

• Stark Industries gets a new group in its group tree, called “Stark Industries Team @ SuperDesign”. This group is automatically synchronized with the source group in Acme University Stark Industries so that it always contains exactly the same users.

• The Admins of Stark Industries add permissions to the group “Stark Industries Team @ SuperDesign”, allowing them to visit and modify the worlds that they’re supposed to be building.

• Once the work is complete, Stark Industries deletes the group “Stark Industries Team @ SuperDesign”. Then, the users in that group can no longer visit Stark Industries’ worlds.

The Admins of an organization can view its Authorized External Users in the regular users table. In contrast, non-authorized External Users don’t appear in the users table. They can only be seen if they visit one of the organization’s worlds. Then, they appear in the Visits and History tables, .

Viewing User Details

In the organization consoleOrganization Admin Console, you can click on any user’s name to get more information about the user. One of the details that is shown is the user type: “Organization user”, “Authorized external user”, “External user”, etc. But note that the user type that you see is the current type, which means that it can change over time.

For example, suppose an Authorized External User visits one of the organization’s worlds. When you view the user's information, her type will say: “Authorized external user”. But if later the user’s group is unshared and then you view her information again, the type will change to say: “External user”. That’s because the user isn’t affiliated with the organization anymore.Another thing worth noting is that some information, such as a user’s email address, will only be displayed to Admins in the source organization and will therefor be hidden to people in the destination organization.
