# Share custom dashboards and report templates

Share Cortex XSIAM custom dashboards and report templates with users and teams.

**Note:** Sharing of custom dashboards, report templates, and widgets must be enabled by your administrator. For more information, see [Manage access to objects](/cortex-xsiam/onboard-cortex-xsiam/post-deployment/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-xsiam/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/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 %}

## 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://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/monitor-dashboards-and-reports/manage-dashboards-and-reports/share-custom-dashboards-and-report-templates.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.
