**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, **Admins**, **Users**, and **Guest Users**

  {% endhint %}

As an account **Owner** or **Manager**, you can share an account with other users and teams and assign them a specific role. This role must be equal to or below your own.

To share an account using the Cerby web app, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace.
2. Click the **Share account** icon that appears when hovering over the corresponding account card. A drop-down menu is displayed.
3. Select the **Share item** option from the menu. The **Share Access** dialog box is displayed.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="success" class="hint hint-success"><p><strong>TIP:</strong> You can also access the <strong>Share Access</strong> dialog box by completing the following steps:</p><ol><li>Click the corresponding account card. The account details page is displayed.</li><li>Click the <strong>Share</strong> button located at the top right. A drop-down menu is displayed.</li><li>Select the <strong>Share item</strong> option from the menu. The <strong>Share Access</strong> dialog box is displayed.</li></ol></div>
4. Enter the user's or team's name in the search bar. The users or teams that match the name are displayed in a list automatically.
5. Select the corresponding user or team from the list. The user or team is listed below.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to select multiple users or teams.
7. Select the account role to assign to the users and teams from the **Role** drop-down menu:
   * **Owner:** Users and teams can share accounts, manage access and account configuration, and view passwords through the user interface (UI) and API responses.
   * **Manager:** Users and teams can log in to the account and share it with other users and teams, but they can't manage the account configuration or remove access. Viewing passwords through the UI is restricted.
   * **Collaborator:** Users and teams can only view passwords through API responses for account login with Cerby; viewing passwords through the UI is restricted.

     <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Guest users and users with the <strong>Login-Only</strong> role can only receive the <strong>Collaborator</strong> role.</p></div>
8. Click the **Confirm** button. The dialog box closes, and a success message is displayed.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> When sharing an account with a guest user, an additional confirmation dialog box is displayed. Click the <strong>Confirm</strong> button.</p></div>

Now you are done.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/cerby-web-app/accounts/managing-access-to-your-accounts/share-an-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
