Share Geotab devices into another database, correctly
For Geotab resellers and operations teams who share devices between customer or partner databases.

Connector
Connect Geotab MyAdmin, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
A wrong sharing setting moves ownership
Sharing Geotab devices into another database means checking each owner database, avoiding devices already shared and setting who pays and who controls the device. Get the transfer setting wrong and ownership moves when it should not.
Without PopdockAI
- Look up each device's owner database
- Check existing shares one by one
- Set who pays and who controls
- Discover ownership moved by accident
With PopdockAI
- Owner databases and existing shares are checked
- Devices already shared to the target are skipped
- Who pays and control transfer default to no and are confirmed
- One share per owner database, with sharing read back
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Share device(s) {device-serials} into database {shared-database} (plan ID {plan-id} if given). These tools change live MyAdmin data. Never call a write tool before the user has explicitly confirmed the exact values in this conversation.
**Step 1: Ownership**
For each serial, call `geotab-myadmin-get-device-database-name` with device-serial = the serial. Note the owner database and existing shared databases. Skip serials already shared to {shared-database}. All serials must have the same owner database; if not, group them and handle one owner at a time.
**Step 2: Confirm**
Show serial, owner database, existing shares, target database. Ask whether the source pays (paid-by-source) and whether control transfers (transfer-control); default both to false. Ask the user to confirm.
**Step 3: Share, once per owner database**
Call `geotab-myadmin-share-device` with serial-nos as a JSON array, owner-database, shared-database = {shared-database}, share-device = true, paid-by-source, transfer-control and plan-id if given.
**Step 4: Verify**
Call `geotab-myadmin-get-device-database-name` again per serial and report the shared databases.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Do not change ownership unless the user explicitly asked for transfer-control.
**Validation:**
* If a serial is not found, skip it and say so.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Fleet administrators
Share vehicles with a partner database
Devices appear in the right database, with control staying where it belongs.
Share Geotab devices G9A9B1C2D3E4 and G9B1C2D3E4F5 into fabrikam_partner.
Reseller operations
Set who pays before sharing
You choose who pays and whether control transfers, with safe defaults.
Share G9C2D3E4F5A6 into northwind_audit, they pay but control stays with us.
Compliance managers
Give auditors read access to devices
Share devices into an audit database without changing who owns them.
Share all three Contoso trucks G9D3E4F5A6B7, G9E4F5A6B7C8 and G9F5A6B7C8D9 into contoso_audit.
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You give the serials and the target database, and your AI assistant checks ownership first. Nothing is shared until you have set the terms and said yes.
01
Ask
You give the serials and the target database.
02
Check
It reads each device owner database and existing shares.
03
Confirm
You set who pays and whether control transfers, and say yes.
04
Share
