Sharing a Private Image

Scenarios

You can share your private images with other accounts and grant them permission to pull the images.

A user under these accounts can then log in to the SWR console to check these images on the My Images > Images From Others page. The user can also click the name of an image to check its details, including the image tag and image pull command.

Constraints

• Only private images can be shared. Public images cannot be shared.
• 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.
• You can share images only with accounts in the same region. Cross-region image sharing is not supported.
• A private image can be shared with a maximum of 500 tenants.
