Hi,
I just found that some of our custom deployable packages showed on LCS shared asset library. I am not sure if this is correct, can these packages be seen by other partners or only the people in our organization?
Thanks,
shared asset library is for your project, you can pull packages published by MS but putting it our LCS project shared asset library should be sufficient to keep it within your org
Hi Yuji,
If multiple MS partners work on the same implementation project then all partner company employees who have access to your LCS project can see the code.
If it is only your company working on the project then only your company and the customer see the packages. Please see the feedback from Rahul.
Best regards,
Ludwig
Thanks Rahul and Ludwig, but what I mean is the Shared Asset Library from LCS site, not the Asset Library in the LCS project.
Under "Shared asset library", you won't be able to set anything to "Global", that's only reserved by Microsoft to share across multiple partners/users. Check what's the Asset Scope and then match it up with definition below.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/lifecycle-services/asset-library#asset-scopes
The SAL is used by Microsoft and Partners to share assets across multiple tenants, projects, and environments in LCS. This library can be accessed by any user who signs in to LCS.
A key repository for solution assets is the Shared Asset Library (SAL) in Lifecycle Services (LCS). Through the SAL it is possible for partners to share solution assets with customers and for customers to share solution assets across multiple projects.
I think Rahul and Ludwig already tried to mention that the shared library is not global. It is for your own tenatn. In one LCS tenant, you can have more than one project. E.g. In my company we create several ISV solutions and they all have a different LCS project. The shared asset library contains deployable packages which would be useful for all these projects. If you have granted access to internal users only, the shared asset library is only available for persons within your organization.
Now, and this is what others tried to explain above, if you invite external users, then they could also have access to YOUR shared asset library.
Hello Yuji,There are two types of views that you have in the Shared Asset Library. One view is the Global view and the second type of view is called as the Individual View (classified as Just Me). Global views includes components that we can re-use in our LCS projects (for example, model files, nuget packages, model store databases, packages, PowerBi report models etc.). Individual views include components that are owned by the project team.
There are certain components that you can publish from Asset library to the Shared Asset library but this will provide only an individual view and not a global view of the LCS asset library components (that were published to the Shared Asset Library). For example, if you are deploying a package from UAT to Gold before go-live you need to mark a package as a release candidate. To do so, you need to first upload the package to your Asset library and then you can choose to publish it to the Shared Asset library and then import the Shared Asset library package back to the Asset library. Finally, you can mark the package as a release candidate with Published status.

Two types of Asset library are available in LCS: the Shared asset library and the project-level Asset library.
Project-level Asset library. This library is accessible to all users in the project.
Shared asset library, it has "Just me" scope by default. You can set the scope. For example, if you have the organization admin permission, you can change the scope to "Organization". Users outside the scope cannot see it.
Can anyone answer to my question as well..
What if my shared asset library is in one location and the customer is in another location? What is the way to move assets from Shared asset to project asset library?
SDP can be moved which are just a few MBs, but microsoft service updates and other binary files may be large and it could be difficult to download and upload to project asset library.
Thank you.
Hi Avinash,
You don't have to download and upload Microsoft updates from one LCS region to another. The customer will have access to it via their shared asset library.
