# Share Templates & Folders

Once a user is added as Member in a Workspace, they can be granted access to view, edit or manage specific Templates or Folders.

### Template & Folder sharing Permissions

By default, **Owners**, **Admins** and **Managers** can manage all Templates and Folders. A **Member** can be granted Manage access for a specific Folder or a Template.

A user who has Manage access to a Template/Folder can share it with a **Member** by assigning one of the following permissions:

* Read Only Permission
* Edit Permission
* Manage Permission

#### Read Only Permission

Members with this permission can:

* View the contents of the folder or template
* Generate documents from the template

#### Edit Permission

Members with this permission can perform every action on a Template/Folder that a Manager, Admin, or Owner can, which includes:

* Edit a Template/Folder name
* Update Template preferences
* Upload a new version of the template
* Manage deliveries (create, update, delete)
* Generate test documents from template
* Create or Delete Data Capture and API Integration link
* Perform bulk merges

{% hint style="info" %}
Granting Edit permission does not allow the Member to share Templates or Folders with other users.
{% endhint %}

#### Manage Permission

In addition to **Read Only** and **Edit** permissions, members with this permission can also **share the template or folder** with other users.

### Sharing a template with member:

1. Click on the Share Button in templates list view against desired Template.
2. Search for users who should be given access to that Template.
3. Choose desired permission and click on Share button.
