Connections
Connection enable access to objects. Once connected, each Object has a number of feeds that can be read and posted to, depending on configured access. Each object property has a minimum required CRUD access level. These are listed in the property table for each object.
Those with Share access to an object can invite others to connect. The level of access you can grant to those you invite depends on the type of object and the level of access you have. We call this the Share Chain.
To disconnect from an object, simply call the Delete route. To remove others from a context, the caller must have Share access to the context for which the connection was created and have more access than the user you are removing. These basic rules apply across all objects.
For more details on using connections, see Using Connections
