Sharing servers

Sharing a server lets a partner organization access it. A single share can grant web admin access (remote management through the server’s Mirth Web UI), metrics access (read-only monitoring of server health and alerts), or both. Web admin access is built on the same secure connection machinery as data sharing, but the connection carries management access instead of channel data. Metrics access is cloud-only — it grants no tunnel and no connection.

When to share a server

Share a server when a partner needs to help operate it — for example, a managed-services provider administering a customer’s integration engine, or a partner who needs read-only visibility into a shared server’s configuration.

What you can share

A share has two independent dimensions. Choose either or both.

Web admin access

Web admin access runs over a provisioned admin connection and comes in two levels:

Level	What the partner can do
Operator (read-write)	Full management access to the server’s Mirth Web UI.
Viewer (read-only)	View configuration and status without making changes.

The underlying admin connection still surfaces as Admin RW / Admin RO on the Connections page; see connection types.

Caution

Operator grants full control of the server to the other party. Share it only with organizations you trust, and prefer Viewer when the partner only needs visibility.

Caution

Operator (read-write) sharing requires a Standard or Enterprise subscription on both parties. If either you or the recipient is on the free tier, the option is unavailable and the share is limited to Viewer (read-only). See tiers.

Metrics access

Metrics access is a cloud-only share — it grants no tunnel and no connection, and becomes active immediately. The recipient can view the server’s health, channel metrics, and alert events. Use it to give a partner read-only monitoring of a server without granting any web admin access.

Sharing a server

1. Make sure you have an agreement with the partner.
2. From the Servers page, choose to share the server, then pick the recipient peer.
3. Choose what to share: a web admin level (Operator or Viewer), Metrics access, or both.
4. Share it. If you granted web access, the partner receives an incoming share invitation and a connection offer to accept. Metrics access takes effect immediately.

Accepting a shared server

When another organization shares a server with you, it appears under incoming share invitations on the Servers page. Accept the invitation (or Decline it). Once accepted, the server shows up among the servers shared with you, and you can open its Web UI within the access level you were granted.

A metrics-only share needs no acceptance — it is active as soon as it is offered, and you view it from monitoring rather than by opening the Web UI.

Opening the shared server’s Web UI

For a server shared with web admin access, you launch a live Mirth Web UI session over the admin tunnel — without separate Mirth credentials.

1. On the Servers page, find the server under those shared with you and choose to Connect.
2. The first time, a short walkthrough brings the admin tunnel online; finish it and choose Open Web UI.
3. The Mirth Web UI opens in a new browser tab, tunneled to the shared server. After the first activation, Connect opens the Web UI directly.

The session runs at the access level you were granted: an Operator share is read-write, a Viewer share is read-only (write actions in the Web UI are blocked). The tunnel is backed by the server’s admin-tunnel feature; you never enter the server’s own login.

Revoking access

End sharing by revoking the underlying connection or the agreement. Once revoked, the partner immediately loses access.
