Sharing spaces

If you own a space, you can share the entire space so that other people can see the pages that are in it. You can also give people permission to edit the space.

About this task

When you share a space, you can designate users as viewers or editors directly or indirectly. When you designate users directly, you explicitly add users to the list of viewers or to the list of editors. When you designate users indirectly, you add the groups to which the users belong to the list of viewers or to the list of editors.
