Sharing and access
Datasets, knowledge bases, models, and skills are private to the member who created them. Nobody else in the organization can open them until their owner shares them with members, with groups, or with the whole organization.
How access works
Section titled “How access works”- The person who creates an item is its Owner.
- The owner, and anyone who can edit the item, can share it with members and groups.
- The owner can also give the whole organization access, if the organization’s sharing policy allows it.
- A knowledge base has no sharing of its own: it shares its dataset. Choosing Share on a knowledge base changes the sharing of its dataset, so the dataset and the knowledge base always have the same access.
- Your role in the organization does not open an item’s content. Owners and admins moderate items from Settings > Resources without opening them.
If someone gets access in more than one way (directly, through a group, or through the organization), the highest level applies.
Access levels
Section titled “Access levels”| Level | Datasets and knowledge bases, models | Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Can view | Open and use the item | Use the shared version of the skill |
| Can edit | Also upload, annotate, rename, and train, and share the item with members and groups | Not available |
| Owner | Everything, including giving the whole organization access and deleting the item | Also edit the skill and choose the shared version |
For the whole organization you choose No access, Can view, or Can edit (skills: No access or Can view).
Skills are always shared read-only. Others see the version the owner shares, while the owner keeps working on newer versions.
Share an item
Section titled “Share an item”- Open the dataset, knowledge base, model, or skill and choose Share.
- In Members and groups, use Add a member or group to pick people or groups.
- Next to each one, choose Can view or Can edit.
- To give everyone in the organization access, choose a level in Organization access.
- For a skill, choose the Shared version that everyone it is shared with sees.
- Choose Save changes.
To stop sharing, remove the member or group from the list with the button next to their name, or set Organization access to No access, then save.
Who can change what
Section titled “Who can change what”| Change | Item owner | Editors | Organization owners and admins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add members and groups, change their level | Yes | Yes | No |
| Remove members and groups | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Give the whole organization access | Yes, within the sharing policy | No | No |
| Set Organization access to No access | Yes | No | Yes |
| Choose the shared version of a skill | Yes | No | No |
The sharing policy in Settings > General decides whether every owner can give the whole organization access (Every member) or only item owners who are organization owners or admins (Only owners and admins). See Organization settings.
Find shared items
Section titled “Find shared items”Lists of datasets, knowledge bases, models, and skills show a badge with each item’s visibility:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Private | Only the owner can use it |
| Shared | The owner shared it with some members or groups |
| Shared with you | Someone shared it with you or with one of your groups |
| Organization | Everyone in the organization can use it |
| View only | You can view it but not edit it |
Use the Show filter to see All, Mine, Shared with me, or Organization items.
Review every item in Resources
Section titled “Review every item in Resources”Owners and admins can open Settings > Resources to see every dataset, model, and skill in the organization, with its Owner, Created date, Visibility, and Shares. Knowledge bases follow their dataset. The page shows who can use each item, not its content.
From the actions menu on a row:
- Sharing opens the sharing of the item. Owners and admins can remove shares and set the organization access to No access.
- Delete deletes the item for everyone, with all its content. This cannot be undone.
