GlobalAccessServer Thing Shape
The GlobalAccessServer Thing Shape defines the properties for GAS Things that implement the GASModel Thing Template. Except for the enabled property, these properties are written by the eMessage Connector to a GAS thing that represents a GAS that is registered with the Connector. Grant update access to these properties for users carefully. The eMessage Connector will have access when you run the services that grant permission and visibility to the Connector user.
