# Sharing

## Overview

Sharing data entities on Sprinkle is a breeze:sparkles:, which makes collaboration within teams effortless! :smile::tada:

You can **share any sprinkle entity**, such as [dashboards](https://docs.sprinkledata.com/product/analysing-your-data/dashboards), [reports](https://docs.sprinkledata.com/product/analysing-your-data/reports), [SQL transforms](https://docs.sprinkledata.com/product/transforming-your-data/sql-transform), etc., with others, granting them **specific access** (e.g., view, edit, etc.).

With various permission options suited to different users, share your entities with ease and enhanced control.

### Permission Types:

* **VIEW**: Users or groups with this permission can only view the resource.
* **EDIT**: Users or groups with this permission can edit the resource.
* **EDIT\_SETTINGS**: Users can edit resource settings as well.
* **MANAGE**: Users or groups with this permission can even delete the resource. Resource owners or users with MANAGE permission can revoke any shared permission at any time.

Permissions are a **superset** of individual user, role, and group permissions.&#x20;

For example, an analyst role has **View** and **Edit** permissions on reports. However, sharing a report with an analyst **only with view permission** still gives **both view and edit** options.

### Settings:

To manage permissions, click on the **settings** icon.:gear:&#x20;

The owners can choose to **allow or disallow editors** from changing permissions and sharing further.

Click on the check box to **opt-in**. Other users can share the resources with more users or groups with permission that is the **same or lower than theirs**.&#x20;

For example, if a resource is shared with **EDIT** permission with user Alpha, Alpha can further share the resource with another user Beta with **VIEW or EDIT** permission only.
