# \[Video] How to share an account via a local partner

This video shows how to share an account with guest users via a local partner.

***

## Key concepts

* Only **Host Admins** of an existing [local partner](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/partners#h-7e4add33a2) can share the accounts they own with a local partner for collaboration purposes.
* By default, the only users on the local partner’s side who receive shared access to the accounts are the **Guest Admins**, who can be assigned any of the following two roles:
* **Collaborator: Guest Admins** can only log in to the accounts through Cerby.
* **Manager: Guest Admins** can log in to the accounts through Cerby and share access to them with other guest users ; they cannot manage the account details.

The process of sharing an account via a local partner comprises two main steps performed by different users:

1. [Share an account with a local partner](#id-1.-share-an-account-with-a-local-partner)
2. [Share an account with a guest user](#id-2.-share-an-account-with-a-guest-user)

The following sections contain the videos of each main step.

## 1. Share an account with a local partner

As the designated **Host Admin** of a local partner, you start the sharing process of an account with a local partner.

## 2. Share an account with a guest user

After an account is shared with a local partner and the **Manager** role is assigned, the designated **Guest Admin** of a local partner shares the account with other guest users.

## 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/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/partners/video-how-to-share-an-account-via-a-local-partner.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.
