This option allows you to add users and groups to an external access list for multiple evidence files at the same time.
The external access list allows you to share evidence with other users and groups that are outside your agency. You should use external access list when you need to require that evidence is only available to users who sign in to Evidence.com. You can control whether users you share evidence with can view the evidence, download the evidence, view the audit trail of evidence, and share the evidence with others.
The external access list grants each user and group the same permissions to the shared evidence. If you need to grant different permissions to different users or groups, perform this procedure once for each set of users or groups to whom you want to grant the same permissions.
Removing a sharing invitation and changing sharing expiration date cannot be done in bulk. If you need to perform these tasks, you must perform it for each evidence file. For more information, see Modifying and Removing Users and Groups from External Access Lists.
