You can share a report or dashboard folder with up to 25 users, groups, roles, or territories from the UI. To share a folder with up to 500 users, groups, roles, or territories, use the folder sharing REST API.

1. Open the folders list on the Analytics, Reports, or Dashboards tab.
    
    - On the Analytics tab, click **Browse** and then click **Folders**.
    - On the Reports or Dashboard tab, select a folder view from the left panel.
2. Find the folder in the list, click ![Folder Actions Menu icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/analytics/images/rd/report_builder_group_menu_arrow.png), and select **Share**.
3. From the **Share With** dropdown, select who you want to share with.
    
    ![Folder sharing window](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/analytics/images/analytics_folder_enhanced_share_with.png)
4. For **Name**, enter the name you want to match. The name must match the category (such as user, group, or role). For example, if you select **User** as the category, specify the name of a user.
5. Select the folder access level for the user, role, group, or territory.
    
    ![Selecting folder access levels](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/analytics/images/analytics_folder_enhanced_share_access.png)
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note The Analytics tab doesn’t support sharing with partner roles. To share with a partner role, access the Share Folder window from the Reports or Dashboards tab.
6. Click **Share**. The sharing setting is applied to the Who Can Access list. Continue to add entries as needed. You can share with users, groups, roles, territories, or a combination. If a user is identified in more than one entity, the greatest permission is granted. For example, a group is added with view only, but a user in the group is also added with edit or manage permissions. In this case, the edit or manage permissions apply to that user. To delete a Who Can Access entry, click **X** to the right of the entry. To modify the access level for an entry, select a new access level.
    
    ![Modifying access levels](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/analytics/images/analytics_folder_enhanced_share_added.png)
7. When you’re done, click **X** in the upper corner of the dialog box to close it and return to the page you were on.

The folder is now available on the Folders list for organizing your Lightning reports or dashboards.
