Managing Shares

When adding a user who has access to shared work you can allow them to also share this work with other users. For example, one user may be responsible for building the questionnaire which they share with the supervisor of a team of analysts. The supervisor has permission to share this work with the other team members.

CAUTION: When you share a resource with another user, they will have access to that resource until you remove the share access. Careful consideration should be made when giving share access to ensure users do not have access beyond the required time (for example when someone leaves the business). Allowing users to Manage shares should be used with caution and you should regularly check who has access to your resources and that the access level is appropriate.
