Stopping Sharing Images

Scenarios

You can stop sharing images. After you stop sharing an image:

  • The image will be invisible to the recipient on the management console and no data will be returned when the recipient query the image through an API.
  • The recipient cannot use the image to create an ECS or EVS disk, or change the OS of an ECS.
  • The recipient cannot reinstall the OS of the ECSs created from the shared image or create instances identical with these ECSs.

If an image is shared with a project, an account, and also an organization which may be included with each other, you must stop sharing the image with all of them to completely stop the sharing.
