Playbook: a family — shared contacts/calendar, per-device passwords

Goal: a household on one domain — several people under one tenant, a shared address book (and calendar) everyone sees, and per-device app-passwords you can revoke one at a time. This exercises the platform’s differentiator: multi-tenant accounts + cross-account grants (effective rights = token ∩ grant, every access audited). All serverless, $0.

Placeholders: owner [email protected], family member [email protected], tenant t_home.

1. Two (or more) accounts under one tenant

The tenant is the household namespace; each person is an account in it.

bullmoose admin account create [email protected]     --tenant t_home --name "You"
bullmoose admin account create [email protected] --tenant t_home --name "Partner"
bullmoose admin password [email protected]
bullmoose admin password [email protected]

Add kids/roommates the same way. Each person connects their own devices via the Apple or JMAP-client playbook, using their own app-passwords.

2. A shared address book

Keep the shared book on one account (say you@) and grant the others. A grant carrying contacts is read-write; read alone is read-only (carddav-setup.md). Scope it to a single book with --book so the rest of you@’s data stays private:

# whole-account share (simple): partner can read+write your contacts & calendar
bullmoose admin grant create [email protected] [email protected] --scopes read,contacts,calendar

# tighter: just one address book, read-write, expiring in a year
bullmoose admin grant create [email protected] [email protected] \
  --scopes read,contacts --book <addressBookId> --expires 365

The JMAP-native equivalent is AddressBook.shareWith from any client. Either way the shared book appears automatically in the sharee’s account — in Contacts.app, in their JMAP client, in bullmoose contacts list — no re-add. Edits by either person converge through the same core.

Inspect and revoke:

bullmoose admin grant list [email protected]          # who can reach this account
bullmoose admin grant revoke <grantId>              # instant; access is denied on next call

3. Per-device app-passwords (revoke one, keep the rest)

Every person mints one token per device — never the login password — so a lost phone is revoked alone:

# partner, on their laptop:
bullmoose login [email protected]
bullmoose token create --name "partner-iphone"  --scopes mail,contacts,calendar
bullmoose token create --name "partner-laptop"  --scopes mail

# you lost a device → operator revokes just that one:
bullmoose admin token list   [email protected]
bullmoose admin token revoke <tokenId>

4. What to expect

• Isolation by default. Accounts see only their own data until a grant says otherwise; a grant is the only cross-account path, and its effective rights are token ∩ grant — a read-only grant can never write even if the device token holds mail.
• Audited. Every access through a grant is logged.
• Composable. --book/--expires narrow a grant; agents use the same grant machinery (an assistant@ can be granted scoped, expiring read on a shared book — see ../architecture/agent-integration.md §4).

Troubleshooting

• Shared book doesn’t appear → confirm the grant: admin grant list; the sharee must re-sync (macOS Contacts: ⌘R) or wait for the next poll.
• Sharee can’t edit → the grant lacks contacts/calendar (read-only); re-create it with the write scope.
• Revoked but still visible on device → the server denies immediately; the client clears on its next sync or account removal.
