The Share feature in MPCA e-Services allows you to share a service with others who have an account in MPCA e-Services. Once another user accepts the sharing of a service, the service appears on his or her My Workspace page under the My Services – In Progress section and can be accessed like any other in-progress service.

Sharing a Service

If you create a service, you can share that service with others who have an account in MPCA e-Services. To share a service with another person,

  1. On the My Workspace, in the My Services – In Progress section, click the Share button for the service you want to share with another person.

  2. On the Share Service page, in the User ID box, type the username of the person that you want to share the service with, for example, pbunyan. You must type the exact username of the person as it is used in his or her MPCA e-Services user profile.

  3. Click Search.

  4. Under Result, verify that the name and email address of the person is correct.

  5. Click Grant Access.

The person you requested to share the service with will receive an email, alerting them that they have a pending shared service.

On the My Workspace page, you will see a Pending indicator under the Shared column for that service until the other person either accepts or denies the request for sharing. If the request for sharing is accepted, the Share column will then display all the names of the users who are sharing the service.

Note: Only one user can access a service at a time. The name of the user who last modified and saved the service is displayed in the Last Modified By column. After you access a shared service, click Check In in the Share column to make the service available to the other users.

Accepting or Denying a Shared Service Request

If another person having an account in MPCA e-Services requests that you share a service, you will receive an email alerting you that you have a pending shared service.

To accept or deny the shared service request,

  1. Log in to MPCA e-Services. For details, see Logging In to MPCA e-Services.
  2. On the My Workspace page, in the My Services – In Progress section, click the Pending button under the Shared column for the service.
  3. On the Accept Shared Service page, select either Yes or No, depending on whether you want to accept or deny the request to share the service.
  4. Click Submit.

If you accept sharing the service, on the My Workspace page, the Share column will display all the names of the users who are sharing the service. If you deny sharing the service, you will no longer see the service on your My Workspace page.

Note: Only one user can access a service at a time. The name of the user who last modified and saved the service is displayed in the Last Modified By column. After you access a shared service, click Check In in the Share column to make the service available to the other users.
