Share MashZone NextGen resource files

You can share resource files with particular users and user groups so that these have access to the files. MashZone NextGen users can use these files as external resources in their dashboards and data feeds.

Regardless of the share, users with administration privilege can access all resource files. By default, all other users only have access to images (such as PNG, JPG, or GIF).
