# Share Access (Provide Temporary Video Access)

Share Solink location access with a non-Solink user temporarily.

**Share Access** allows you to provide a non-Solink user with limited access to a location. This feature is useful as it can allow you to provide temporary video access to insurance agents or law enforcement.

Please note, any individual you provide temporary video access to will only have limited access to one location within Solink. The user will not have access to the full set of Solink features.

**Note**: This feature is restricted to [admin users](/docs/fix-a-problem/frequently-asked-questions-faqs.md#what-are-the-differences-between-admin-and-standard-users) only.

## How to Share Access

To provide temporary video footage access from one of your locations to a non-Solink user:

3. Select **Share Access** in the top-right corner of the page:

4. The **Share Access** window opens.

From this window, you can configure the following video access options:

* **Grant Access to Footage Recorded Between**
  * If you select **Limited Access**, the recipient(s) will be able to view footage recorded between the dates you specify. For example, if you choose 2 Jan, 2024 - 5 Jan, 2024, the recipient(s) will be able to view footage recorded between those dates.
  * If you select **Continuous Access**, the recipient will be able to view footage recorded from the specified date and onwards. For example, if you select 2 Jan, 2024, the recipient can view footage recorded on and after that date.
* **Access Expires In**: The recipient(s) will lose access to this footage after the number of days you have selected (for example, if you select "7 days", the recipient(s) will have 7 days to view the footage. After this period of time, they will lose access to view the footage).
* **Access Recipients**: Add email(s) to share the link via email. An example of the email that the recipient receives is pictured below:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.solink.com/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/save-and-share-video/share-access-provide-temporary-video-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
