# Share your data

## The Permissions tab in the information panel of your dataset allows you to choose which user can view and/or edit this dataset.

Click on one of your datasets in the list view of available datasets to open the information panel. Go to the **Permissions** tab to manage permissions. You can enable the **Public** option by clicking the toggle or enter a user's name in the text area. You can also use the list of users which will appear to select your user or group.
