# Knowledge Recipient

QName: `f:knowledge-recipient`

Used internally to identify that a node has received one or more knowledge properties from a source Knowledge Space.  
These properties exist on the JSON but may have their values overwritten at any time. The indicated properties are not "mastered" on this node but rather receive their values from elsewhere.

Any node that is marked as a `f:knowledge-recipient` will have at least one `a:shares-knowledge` association binding it back to the source of the property. There will be at most one of these `a:shares-knowledge` associations per source Knowledge Space and target Knowledge Recipient pair.

The `f:knowledge-recipient` feature is managed internally by Cloud CMS. You should not need to work with this feature manually.

## Configuration
