Share invitations

A share invitation is a request to share a workload, custom lens, or review template owned by another AWS account. A workload or lens can be shared with all users in an AWS account, individual users, or both.

• If you accept a workload invitation, the workload is added to your Workloads and Dashboard pages.

• If you accept a custom lens invitation, the lens is added to your Custom lenses page.

• If you accept a profile invitation, the profile is added to your Profiles page.

• If you accept a review template invitation, the template is added to your Review templates page.

If you reject the invitation, it's removed from the list.

Note

Workloads, custom lenses, profiles, and review templates can only be shared within the same AWS Region.

The owner of the workload or custom lens controls who has shared access.

The Share invitations page, available from the left navigation, provides information about your pending workload and custom lens invitations.

The following information is displayed for each workload invitation:

Name

The name of the workload, custom lens, or review template to be shared.

Resource type

The type of invitation, either Workload, Custom lens, Profiles, or Review template.

Owner

• Read-Only
