I have access to content from... somewhere? And I'm trying to determine who I'm getting it from. Is there a way to view who is granting me access to certain sourcebooks? I like that I have them but I'd like to know where they are coming from so that if I break with that player I know what I won't have access to anymore (I am a pro DM and run lots of games with lots of players).
Is it only sharable if you join someone's campaign. If so look at which campaigns you have joined and see who is also in there and ask them one of those will be given you access.
I don't know how you can see it on the website, but if you download the "DDB Reader" app, it marks content as 'shared with me', if you don't own it and have access.
In response to people who have said to just ask, I have over 40 players spread out among my campaigns so asking who has access to what is going to be a major chore. Also, most of them are kids and their parents are paying customers so I don't really want to bother them with that. But totally understand the suggestion.

At least it does on my Android devices...
Thanks! I knew I saw this somewhere. I wish it also said who is sharing it but this is probably the best I'll get.

Wouldn't all these sourcebooks be owned by you if you are a "pro DM", rather than you relying on your players providing books for you to earn income from?
I’m not relying on my players for them and I don’t need them. That’s actually my point. They muddy up my collections when I see content like a magic item that I want to use but then realize that access to that item/spell/thing is reliant on content I don’t own myself and could go away. I purchase content all the time and just want to know what I’ve paid for and what I haven’t. But thanks for the tired “pro dm” critique. Super helpful.

If you need to know which books you've bought, you can just look at the market place/your order history?
I am actually see several books being shared with me that I don't know where they are being shared from. So far as I know you can only share with a group if you're the DM of the group, and I'm not in anyone else's groups but mine, haha.

That's not correct. Anyone with a Master tier subscription can enable content sharing whether they're the DM/campaign owner or not, and all content owned by anyone in the campaign gets shared by default. As far as I know its only the campaign manager who can manage shared content (block specific sources) though, even if they're not the one with the Master tier subscription.

Ask. You can't look it up, so ask.
