**📋 Shared Instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)** — Cross-cutting concerns. **Always confirm before share/unshare.** # Share / Unshare Adds or removes user access to the app in the current directory. The CLI resolves emails via Microsoft Graph; entries that don't resolve are returned as warnings (the RP call still succeeds for the resolved entries). ## Workflow 1. Memory Bank → 2. Verify Project + Env → 3. Mode (share / unshare) → 4. Collect Emails → 5. Confirm → 6. Run → 7. Surface Partial-Success Envelope --- ### Step 1: Check Memory Bank Read `memory-bank.md` for app slug, GUID, and environment. ### Step 2: Verify Project + Env ```bash test -f ms.config.json || { echo "Not in a Microsoft App workspace."; exit 1; } BIN=ms $BIN auth status # must report the expected UPN ``` ### Step 3: Mode Ask whether the user wants to **share** (add access) or **unshare** (remove access). Default to share unless the prompt obviously indicates removal. ### Step 4: Collect Emails Accept a comma-separated email list. Validate basic shape (`user@domain`) before passing through; don't try to resolve them yourself — `ms` handles Graph resolution and will return warnings for unresolved entries. If the user passes Object GUIDs (already-resolved principals), pass them through as-is — the CLI accepts both forms. ### Step 5: Confirm Show the user exactly what will run, then ask for confirmation: > "About to **share** `<app-name>` with: `alice@contoso.com, bob@contoso.com`. Confirm?" Wait for explicit yes. Never auto-proceed — ACL changes affect production users. ### Step 6: Run **Share:** ```bash $BIN app share "alice@contoso.com,bob@contoso.com" ``` **Unshare:** ```bash $BIN app unshare "alice@contoso.com,bob@contoso.com" ``` The command reads the app ID from `ms.config.json`. ### Step 7: Surface Partial-Success Envelope The CLI returns a JSON envelope with `partialFailure: boolean` and `warnings: []`. When `partialFailure: true`: - The RP call succeeded — share state is updated for resolved users. - Warnings list the unresolved entries (typo'd email, account doesn't exist in the tenant, Graph couldn't find them, etc.). Print warnings verbatim and ask the user whether to re-run with corrected entries: ``` Share completed with warnings: - 'bob@contso.com' could not be resolved (Graph returned 404). - 'charlie@partner.com' is not a member of this tenant. Share state updated for: alice@contoso.com (1 of 3 resolved). Would you like to retry the 2 unresolved entries with corrections? ``` If the user confirms, loop back to Step 4 with the corrected list. Don't retry automatically — typos and tenant-membership issues need human resolution. --- ## Edge Cases | Situation | Action | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | User passes a single email | Run as-is; the envelope still applies (just with one entry). | | User passes a mix of emails and Object GUIDs | Pass through as one comma-separated list — the CLI accepts both. | | `ms app share` returns non-zero (not a partial-failure envelope) | A hard error (auth, env, app-not-found). Surface verbatim and STOP. Do not retry. | | User says "share with everyone" | Decline — there is no "everyone" semantic. Ask for an explicit list. |
