issues with Access (beta) Provide editing or viewing-only access
I have tried a new feature from settings: Access (beta)
My observations:
1) The person, who received the invitation for viewing-only access has to provide my login, password and TOTP. This doesn't make sens. Instead of using this feature I can give my credentials.
2) Information about granting someone access is visible only for a short time.

I just tried it myself. The person receives a link to the login page, just like any new user. It looks like they’re supposed to login. However, there’s also an option to create a new account. It’s not obvious, but they’re supposed to create a new account at that point. (Or login with their own credentials if they already have an account). From there they have access to the configuration you assigned to them.
I tried the whole procedure with a separate email account I have. Then I revoked the access. The new account still has an active account, but no longer has access to the configurationWhat I’m seeing indicates you’re giving access to a particular configuration, not your entire account.
it’s a beta feature so perhaps they’ll clarify how it works before removing the Beta tag.
