Description

Adds documentation for the centralized Share button that plugins surface directly in their resource list tables (via an Access column), as an inline entry point for managing resource access.

This complements the Resource Access Management page documented in #11571 by describing the second, in-plugin way to share resources. The new section, Sharing resources from a plugin page using the Share button, was added to _dashboards/management/resource-sharing.md and covers:

  • Where the Share button appears and the capability gating that hides the Access column when resource sharing is disabled or the Security plugin is absent.
  • The plugins that surface the button (Anomaly Detection, Alerting, Machine Learning, Reporting, Notifications, Flow Framework, and Security Analytics).
  • Step-by-step instructions for sharing a resource from a plugin page.

Follow-up to #11571.
