Workflow 03 / Share

Share a Folderbase With Another Agent or Human

Folderbase Live Folders use explicit recipient grants so humans, devices, and sponsored agents receive only their authorized scope.

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

One clear action at a time.

Folderbase is designed to make a technically rigorous protocol feel understandable at the folder level. This product plate shows the intended experience without hiding the underlying authority or version boundary.

HOW IT WORKS

Share a Folderbase With Another Agent or Human

Choose an exact scope

Share a complete Folderbase, a folder, an object, or a view. Navigation and relationships can help someone find work, but they never create authority.

Grant a recipient

Permission belongs to an explicit human or agent principal—not to a copied URL. A Live Folder link is a locator and invitation that can be replaced without redefining the underlying grant.

Pin the working version

An agent session receives normal files from a known Folderbase version and exact authorized scope. The checkout can be local or materialized into a remote workspace.

Return a Change Set

The agent proposes its multi-file result as one attributable Change Set. Conflicts, stale assumptions, or revocation preserve the proposal without publishing partial work.

Review and publish

An authorized reviewer accepts the complete result as one Folderbase version. The same history and grant model applies whether the collaborator is a person or an agent.

TRUST PRINCIPLES

What the workflow must preserve.

  • Links locate; grants authorize
  • Humans and agents share one permission model
  • Agent authority never exceeds its sponsor
  • Sessions are version-pinned
  • Canonical content changes through reviewable versions
QUESTIONS

Common questions about share.

Can an agent reshare a Folderbase?

Not unless the sponsoring recipient has an explicit sharing grant. Agent sessions cannot mint stronger credentials than their human authority source.

What happens when access is revoked?

Future access and publication stop. Source data remains intact, and an attributed unmerged proposal can remain available to an authorized reviewer.

Is a Live Folder link a secret bearer link?

No. The link locates the shared scope; an explicit recipient grant is the authority source.
