# Sharing and permissions

> Share dashboards, charts, and sheets with teams and people, set org visibility, and star content you use often.

*[View this page in the Flax docs](https://flax-analytics.com/docs/administration/sharing-and-permissions)*

Flax controls who can open your content through two layers: the **visibility** of a resource and explicit **grants** to teams or people. This page is for anyone who wants to share a dashboard, chart, or sheet.

## Visibility

Every dashboard, chart, and sheet has a visibility setting that determines its baseline audience within your organization:

| Visibility | Who can see it |
| --- | --- |
| `private` | Only you, plus org admins. |
| `team` | Members of the resource's owning team. This is the default. |
| `org` | Everyone in the organization. |

Visibility never overrides data governance. Even an org-visible dashboard shows each viewer only the rows they are entitled to — see [Data entitlements](/docs/administration/data-entitlements).

## Grants

A grant extends access to a resource beyond its visibility, targeting either a whole team or an individual user. Grants are managed at `/api/grants` and back the share dialog in the app.

- **Resource types:** `chart`, `sheet`, `dashboard`.
- **Permission levels:** `view` or `edit`.
- **Who can share:** an org admin can share any resource; the **lead** of the resource's owning team can share that team's resources. A resource with no owning team can only be shared by an org admin.

When you share a resource with a specific user, they receive an in-app notification linking straight to it. See [Comments and notifications](/docs/administration/comments-and-notifications).

## Starring content

Star a dashboard to add it to your personal favorites for quick access. Stars are per-user — starring never changes who else can see the dashboard, and starring content you are no longer permitted to view simply removes it.
