Share a connection | Elaichi Documentation

POST /connection/{id}/share

Grants one member, team, or the whole org `view` or `use` access to this connection. Sharing never changes `owner_user_id` — that only moves through `POST /connection/{id}/transfer` (docs/access-model.md §2). `use` is what lets the grantee bind this connection into their own toolbox entries and run tools through it. `edit` is not a valid level here: renaming, deleting or transferring a connection stays with the owner alone, never with a share (and never with `connection:manage` any more either, removed 2026-09-04). A private connection (no existing grants) may only be shared by its own owner — no organization permission reaches another member's private connection, sharing included; the owner opting people in is the one deliberate way in. Requires `edit` access or ownership, and `connection:share`; for a connection granted to a team, that team's admin also qualifies.
