How to write a blueprint script that tells you who else is using the shared resources in your sandbox

[Quali-Community]

A question I sometimes get on the road is "if I am using a shared resource in my sandbox, and I want to perform a command which affects users of the same resource in other sandboxes, how do I tell what is being used quickly and currently?". A good example is that someone needs to reload some firmware or power cycle a device. They do not want to go ahead without consulting or informing users in other sandboxes.

One answer is to write a blueprint script in Python which provides a command that uses the CloudShell automation API. The API calls can determine the answer and generate a simple textual list in the Output window of the current sandbox.

An example of the script output is shown below:

The Python code is show below and attached:
