As a Automation Service Broker administrator, you can create a content sharing policy that entitles all Automation Service Broker users in a project to shared content defined in the policy.
The steps to get catalog sources or items to share are optional, because a content sharing policy may not share both sources and items. However, the policy must share at least one catalog source or item.
Prerequisites
- Verify that all general prerequisites and prerequisites for the Automation Service Broker Policies service have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for API Use Case Examples.
Note: The Policies API and the Catalog API have the same API version. You set the API version value for both services when you satisfy the prerequisites for the Policies service.
- Assign an API version variable for the Projects API.
api_version_projects='2019-01-15'Note: The Projects APIs and Policies APIs have different API version values. You set the API version value for the Policies APIs when you satisfied the prerequisites for the Policies service.
Procedure
