### Add or Remove

This example shares and notifies `email@example.com` that deviceId `80:00:00:00:12:34:56:78` has been shared and all services associated with it but does not grant bulk scripting permissions.

```graphql
mutation {
  share(deviceId: "80:00:00:00:12:34:56:78", 
        email: "email@example.com", 
        scripting: false,
        notify: true,
        action: ADD)
}
```

This example shares a service and removes a share of another service on the same device to multiple users.

```graphql
mutation {
  share(deviceId: "80:00:00:00:12:34:56:78",
        email: [
          "email1@example.com",
          "email2@example.com"
        ],
        notify: true,
        services: [
          {serviceId: "80:00:00:00:12:34:56:79", action: ADD},
          {serviceId: "80:00:00:00:12:34:56:79", action: REMOVE}
        ]
```

### Leave

If you want to leave a shared device that another user has shared with you previously

```graphql
mutation {
  share(
    deviceId: "80:00:00:00:12:34:56:78"
    email: "YourEmail@example.com"
    action: LEAVE
  )
}
```

Response Example

```graphql
{
  "data": {
    "share": true
  }
}
```
