# Collection Sharing

Static collection sharing without permissions filter using soft-links (Unix-only) is supported since storage type `multifilesystem` was implemented, see (Wiki: Sharing Collections)[https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/wiki/Sharing-Collections]

With 3.7.0 a major extension was implemented using internal mapping configuration stored in a database and a management API.

## Sharing Configuration Store

Types of supported sharing configuration:

 * csv (_>= 3.7.0_)
 * files (_>= 3.7.0_)

### Sharing Configuration Entry Data

 * `ShareType`: type of share
    * `token`: token-based share (do not require user authentication)
    * `map`: map-based share (requires user authentication)
 * `PathOrToken`: token or "virtual" collection, has to be unique (PRIMARY KEY)
 * `PathMapped`: target collection
 * `Owner`: owner of the share
 * `User`: user of the share
 * `Permissions`: effective permission of the share
 * `EnabledByOwner`: control by owner
 * `EnabledByUser`: control by user
 * `HiddenByOwner`: control by owner 
 * `HiddenByUser`: control by user
 * `TimestampCreated`: unixtime of creation
 * `TimestampUpdated`: unixtime of last update
 * `Properties`: overlay properties (limited set whitelisted)
 
`Enabled*`: owner AND user have to enable a share to become usable

`Hidden*`: owner AND user have to disable a share to become visible in PROPFIND

### Sharing Configuration Entry Storage

#### CSV

(_>= 3.7.0_)

One CSV file containing one row per sharing config, separated by `,` and containing header with columns from above.

#### Files

(_>= 3.7.0_)

File-based configuration store is using encoded `PathOrToken` as filename for each config. File contains the data stored as "dict" in binary Python "pickle" format (same is also used for item cache files).

## Sharing Access

### Sharing Access via Maps

(_>= 3.7.0_)

Map-based sharing can be accessed as usual after authentication and authorization.

#### Workflow

* create map as owner
* enable map as owner (can be combined with "create")
* enable map as user (explicit required to avoid sudden available share)

In case share should be visible using PROPFIND

* unhide map as owner (can be combined with "create")
* unhide map as user (explicit required to avoid sudden visible share)


### Sharing Access via Tokens

(_>= 3.7.0_)

Token-based sharing can be accessed after retrieving the token via

Token-URI: `/.token/<Token>`

#### Workflow

* create token as owner
* enable token as owner (can be combined with "create")
* handover URI with token to client


## Sharing Configuration Management API

### Sharing Configuration Management API version 1

(_>= 3.7.0_)

Type: POST API

Base-URI: `/.sharing/v1/<ShareType>/<Hook>`

See also test cases in `radicale/tests/test_sharing.py`

#### Data Format

##### Input Data Format

Parsing be controlled by `CONTENT_TYPE`

 * application/x-www-form-urlencoded (_>= 3.7.0_)
 * application/json (_>= 3.7.0_)
 
##### Output Data Format

Can be selected by `HTTP_ACCEPT`

 * text/plain (_>= 3.7.0_)
 * text/csv (_>= 3.7.0_) - only for "list"
 * application/json (_>= 3.7.0_)
 
##### Accepted Input Data Fields

 * `PathOrToken`: token or "virtual" collection
 * `PathMapped`: target collection
 * `Owner`: owner of the share
 * `User`: user of the share
 * `Permissions`: effective permission of the share
 * `Enabled`: owner/user selected by authentication
 * `Hidden`: owner/user selected by authentication
 
#### API Hooks

* Example: JSON

```
curl -u user:pass --silent -H "accept: application/json" -d "" http://localhost:5232/.sharing/v1/all/info | jq
