As an owner of a RainMachine device you'll be able to grant access to your device to another RainMachine owner, or to any Google/Apple email account owner. As an invitee you'll be able to access the owner's RainMachine device with the access rights he granted you.

How to share access to your RainMachine through RainMachine Cloud Servers

As an owner, to share access on your RainMachine device, please follow these steps:

• Get RainMachine Premium Services yearly subscription for your RainMachine Remote Access email account.
• Go to the RainMachine Web app (https://my.rainmachine.com) and log in with your RainMachine remote access credentials.
• Once successfully logged in, click on the SHARE ACCESS button.
• Enter the email address of the person you would like to share access to your RainMachine device (either RainMachine remote access or the Google/Apple account email address).
• Add a short commentary (optional).
• Choose your RainMachine device from the list.
• Choose what type of rights that person you'll share to will have over your RainMachine device: 
  - View: the person you share with can only view your RainMachine device, but cannot do any action on it
  - Limited: the person you share can only start/stop/pause and change watering times for your RainMachine zones and programs.
  - Full: the person you share can do any action on your RainMachine device, but cannot change the device's main System Settings like device password, remote access, factory reset, SSH access, and PIN code.
• Click on the SHARE RAINMACHINE button. An invitation will be sent to the email address that you entered for shared access. Your invitee must accept this invitation before being able to access your RainMachine. If he doesn't do it in 7 days you have to invite him again.
  Note: You can get more information about it by clicking on the "3 dots" button on the right side, or you can revoke the access any time you want by clicking on the "Delete" red button. Once you do that, the person you shared access to will no longer have access to your RainMachine device.
• Once successfully validated, that person, using the RainMachine, Google, or Apple account email address will be able to access your RainMachine device and will only have the access rights you grant them to.
  Note: The RainMachine - Share Access service is accessible through the RainMachine Web application at https://my.rainmachine.com and the latest versions of the RainMachine mobile apps (iOS or Android).
  The shared access cannot be given to a Google Alias email account, it has to be the main Google account, and also the shared access will not be available for Apple users that choose to "Hide Email" address when using their Apple ID with the RainMachine mobile/web app.
