# Share custom dashboards and report templates

**Note:** Sharing of custom dashboards, report templates, and widgets must be enabled by your administrator. For more information, see [Manage access to objects](/cortex-cloud-posture-management/onboard-and-configure/post-deployment-steps/manage-user-roles-and-access-management/manage-access-to-objects.md).

By default, all new custom dashboards and report templates are **Restricted** and visible only to you (the Owner). Once created, you can share them with specific users or groups, or make it **Public** to all authorized users.

Widget sharing behaves differently to dashboards and reports, for more information see [Access to widgets](/cortex-cloud-posture-management/dashboards-and-reports/monitor-dashboards-and-reports/access-and-visibility-for-dashboards-and-reports/access-to-widgets.md).

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open share settings**

In the **Dashboard Manager** or the **Report Templates** tab, locate your item, right-click its name, and select **Share**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Update your visibility settings**

* **To share globally:** Under **General access**, change the setting to **Public** so all authorized users in your organization can view it.
* **To share selectively:** Keep the status as **Restricted**, add specific users or groups, and assign them a role (**Viewer** or **Editor**).
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save your changes**

Click **Share** to apply your settings.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-posture-management/dashboards-and-reports/monitor-dashboards-and-reports/manage-dashboards-and-reports/share-custom-dashboards-and-report-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
