occurs until they are deleted by the source organization.

7.2.2 Machines in a cooperation area

Overview
The limitations and special aspects of the functions of ePS Network Services when
used with a machine via a cooperation are described below.
Machine tree
The machine ID used by the partner can be viewed in the machine tree views in
the machine selection or machine management for machines in the cooperation
area:
•
"Partner of external machines" view (machines that the organization of the user
can access when granted release)
•
"Partner of own machines" view (machines released by the organization of the
machine operator)
This ensures that the machine can always be clearly identified, e.g. during a hotline
call. The partner's valid machine ID is displayed in the "Partner ID" field.
Managing/releasing machines
For security reasons, a machine can only be released by the administrator of the
owner organization. The administrator always keeps control over which other
organizations can work with his or her machines.
That is why the administrator of a target organization cannot release a machine
released to his or her organization to other organizations via the cooperation area.
Deleting/deactivating machines
A machine can only be deleted from the ePS Network server by the administrator
of the owner organization. Only the administrator can activate/deactivate the
machines and change or re-release the machine master data.
The administrators of both the source organization and the target organization can
change the master data of a machine released via a cooperation area. These
changes do not affect the other organization, so both organizations keep separate
versions of machine master data (for example, if they use different naming and
numbering systems).
