Share an existing SafetyCulture inspection with specific users or groups via the API

Steps
Obtain a SafetyCulture API token with edit access to the inspection and use it as a Bearer token against https://api.safetyculture.io.
Identify the inspection to share by its `audit_id` (from a search or a webhook payload).
Resolve the target person's ID with `POST /users/search`, passing their email in the request body, or look up group IDs if sharing with a whole team.
Call `POST /audits/{audit_id}/share` with a `shares` array of `{"id": "<user_or_group_id>", "permission": "view"|"edit"|"delete"}` entries.
Confirm access by re-fetching the inspection or checking that the assignee can see it without needing access to the underlying template.
Known gotchas
`edit` permission lets the assignee complete the inspection but not delete it; only grant `delete` when explicitly required.
Sharing an inspection does not give the assignee access to the template it was created from — this is intentional and prevents inspections being started outside the supervisor's control.
The token owner must already have access to the inspection (via ownership, sharing, or org-wide "Manage all data") or the share call fails.
