WOPI: Sharing Links for Editing

1 Initial Problem

Sharing links are an extension of the previous way of editing files together in ILIAS via WOPI. Currently, people must have an account and the appropriate rights in ILIAS to edit the file. Sharing links can be used to grant temporary access to a file for editing and can be accessed without an ILIAS account.

2 Conceptual Summary

In file objects that are supported by the configured WOPI editor, an additional Tab “Share” appears. On this tab, links can then be created that can be assigned to people who should also be able to edit the file but do not have an ILIAS account or cannot access the file via RBAC. This enables more flexible deployment scenarios for files.
