# Share Accounts

Your administrator defines your organization's sharing model and your organization's default account access levels for territories. However, you can extend sharing privileges for your own data on an account-by-account basis.

    Note
    
    - You can’t restrict access beyond your organization’s default access levels. When you share an account, Salesforce prompts you to share any related contacts, opportunities, and cases that you have access to. Users must have at least “Read” permission to access the shared records.
    - If you’re using Enterprise Territory Management, you can select **Territories** or **Territories and Subordinates** when sharing an account.
