Use sharing rules to manage business unit access per user, or allow all Marketing Cloud Engagement distributed marketing business users to access content from any added business unit.

To set business unit access using any sharing model other than public read/write:

Note Make the Distributed Marketing Business Units object public read/write to allow all distributed marketing users to access any journeys from any business unit.

1. In Salesforce, navigate to **Setup**.
2. Under **Security**, select **Sharing Settings**.
3. Under **Organization-Wide Defaults**, select **Edit**.
4. For Marketing Cloud Engagement Business Unit, change **Default Internal Access** to **Private**.
5. Select **Save**.
6. Determine and implement a sharing model using Sharing Rules.
    1. Use manual sharing to give business unit access to specific individuals or groups.
    2. Use role hierarchy sharing to give users access to business units based on their Salesforce role.
    3. Use criteria or owner-based sharing rules to give users access to business units based on fields on the business unit; a user's role, group, or subordinate structure; or both.
    4. Use Apex managed sharing rules to programmatically create sharing rules that grant access to business units for both users and groups.
