Description
Shares a batch of items with the specified list of groups (POST only). Users can only share items with groups to which they belong. This operation also allows a user to share items with everyone, in which case the items are publicly accessible, or with everyone in their organization.
Note:
Administrators may share an item to a group on the owners behalf. There are no sharing restrictions, if the item has a public or org sharing level. The items with private sharing level may only be shared to groups to which the item owner has sharing access.
