Sharing a Private Image

Scenario

You can share your private images with other users and grant the users permissions to pull the images.

The user with whom you shared the image can then log in to the SWR console to view the image by choosing My Images > Shared Images. On the tab page, the user can click the target image to check its detailed information, including the image tag and image pull command.

Notes and Constraints

• Only IAM users authorized to manage the private images can share images. The users with whom you share your images only have the read-only permission, which only allows them to pull the images.

• A private image can be shared with a maximum of 500 tenants.
