Consent to Share Report

After a consumer views their report, they may consent to share it with an end user — an agent or an organization. Your backend records the consent and links the consumer's report to the end user via the sharing endpoint. This flow is the tail of Consumer Authentication (steps 14–15 there), documented standalone.

Steps​

  1. Consumer views their report in your application (see Consumer View Requested Report).
  2. Display the consent-to-share-report choice. If the consumer declines, the flow ends — nothing is shared.
  3. Gather the consumer (renter) ID and the end user (agent or organization) ID in your backend.
  4. Share the report with the matching end-user type — PUT /api/experian/agents/{agentId}/renters/{renterId} or PUT /api/experian/organizations/{organizationId}/renters/{renterId}.
  5. Persist the consent — date, time, and that the consumer consented — in your own datastore.
  6. Confirm to the consumer, and (recommended) notify the end user that a report has been shared with them.
