Sharing

You can share a host with people on your team. The recipient can connect to the host from their own Termique, with their own master password. The credential is encrypted for each person. See Shared hosts for how.

​

Before you share

• Add the person on the Teams page. They must accept the team invite before you can share with them.
• The host must be synced. A host kept only on this computer shows This host is only on this computer in its Sharing tab. Click Sync this host first. See Local hosts and sync.

​

Share a host

1. Right-click a host in the host list and select Share. You can also click Share host in the host’s detail page, or Share in its Sharing tab.
2. The Share host dialog shows the host’s Address, User, and Auth. Under From your team, click Share next to the person.
3. Review the details. If the host connects through jump hosts, decide whether the recipient may also connect to them directly.
4. Click Share host.

In the team list, a person who already has access shows Shared. A person with an open invite shows invite pending and can’t be picked again. If command logging is off for the host, the dialog says so and offers Turn on, so you keep an audit trail of what everyone runs. See Command logs.

​

Jump hosts

If the host connects through one or more jump hosts, Termique shares the whole chain with it, so the recipient gets a working connection without extra setup. The host’s Sharing tab names the chain, for example bastion → app-01. By default, the recipient can only tunnel through the jump hosts. They don’t appear in the recipient’s host list and the recipient can’t connect to them on their own. To allow that:

• When sharing, check Also let <email> connect directly to <chain>.
• After sharing, use the switch next to the recipient in the host’s Sharing tab.

​

Accept or decline a share

When someone shares a host with you, Termique sends a New host share invite notification, and the bell in the tab bar shows a count of pending invites. Click the bell to open Shared with me. Each invite shows the host, who it’s from, its address, how it authenticates, and any jump host. Before you accept, check I understand and accept activity logging. The invite explains that commands you run on the host are logged and visible to the owner and other recipients.

• Click Accept to add the host to your host list.
• Click Decline to refuse it. Nothing is added.

With several pending invites, click Open all to work through them in one dialog. When you accept, Termique opens the shared credential on your device and stores it in your vault, encrypted with your own DEK. The host appears in your host list marked as shared. Shared jump hosts you are allowed to use directly appear as hosts too. You also see the host’s monitoring data. Hosts shared with you are listed on the Teams page under Shared with me.

​

Working on a shared host

• The host’s Sharing tab shows Shared with you by <email>. Only the owner can share it further or manage access.
• The first time you open a session on a shared host in each app launch, Termique reminds you that commands you type are visible to the owner and everyone the host is shared with. Click Don’t show again for this host to stop the reminder.
• If the owner changes the host’s address, username, or credential, your copy updates automatically. This includes credentials of shared jump hosts. You never need a new invite because the owner rotated a password.

​

Manage access

Open the host’s detail page and select the Sharing tab. It lists everyone you shared the host with, their status, and when the host was last connected and by whom. If the recipient declines the invite or later removes the host, they drop off the list. Share the host again to send a new invite.

​

Revoke access

1. In the host’s Sharing tab, click the trash icon next to the recipient.
2. Confirm Revoke access for <email>? by clicking Revoke.

The recipient loses access right away. Their copy of the host, and any jump hosts that came with it, is removed from their host list the next time their app checks for shares. Command log entries already recorded stay in the host’s log. To remove someone from every host you shared with them at once, revoke them from the Teams page. A revoked share cannot be turned back on. To share with that person again, send a new share. They have to accept it again.

​

Leave a shared host

To give up access to a host shared with you, right-click it in the host list and select Remove shared. Confirm Leave shared host by clicking Remove. The share disappears from the owner’s list. You need a new invite to get access again.

​

Limits

• You can share only hosts you own. You cannot re-share a host that was shared with you.
• There are no permission levels. A shared host gives the recipient full connect access.
• Each person you share with uses one of your recipient slots, however many hosts you share with them. See Teams.
• Open host invites are capped at twice your number of recipient slots. If you reach the cap, Termique shows Too many invitations are still waiting to be accepted. Withdraw some first.
• There is a daily limit on invites. When you reach it, Termique shows Daily invite limit reached. Try again tomorrow.
• If a subscription payment fails, you can’t send new shares. Termique shows New shares are paused while a payment is outstanding. Existing shares keep working. Existing shares are suspended if the payment is still outstanding after 14 days, and resume once it goes through.
