# How to manage sharing settings for a data source?

Each data source has **Sharing settings** that control which partners can see overlaps with the accounts imported from it. This lets you map your accounts against every partner, against only a chosen group, or against no one at all.

## Prerequisites

* You must have role **Owner** or **Admin**.
* You should already have at least one data source. See [How to import your accounts with a CSV data source?](/account-mapping/data-sources/import-accounts-csv-data-source.md).

## Opening the sharing settings

* Open the data source detail page (see [How to manage your account mapping data sources?](/account-mapping/data-sources/manage-account-mapping-data-sources.md)).
* Go to the **Sharing settings** section.

## Who has access to these accounts?

This setting determines with whom the accounts in this data source are shared, which in turn controls which partners overlaps are detected with. Choose one of three options:

* **No one**: Overlaps are not detected for these accounts. Use this to keep a data source private while you prepare it.
* **All partners**: Overlaps are detected with all of your partners' accounts.
* **Some partners**: Overlaps are detected only with the partners you select through a filter.

### Sharing with some partners

When you choose **Some partners**, a filter builder appears so you can target partners by their properties rather than picking them one by one.

A filter reads as *When partner property \[property] \[condition] \[value]* — for example, *When partner property* ***Program*** *is any of* ***Solution partner program***. Only partners that match the filter will have overlaps detected against this data source.

Click **Add filter** to combine several conditions and narrow the selection further.

## What is the shared scope?

**Coming soon.** A second setting, **What is the shared scope?**, will let you control *how much* of this data source the selected partners can see, from only the overlap count up to the full data source. This option is not available yet; for now, selected partners can see the overlapping accounts and their data.

## Saving your changes

After adjusting the sharing settings, click **Save** to apply them, or **Cancel** to discard.

Changing the sharing settings re-evaluates overlap detection for the affected partners.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-vnext.kiflo.com/account-mapping/data-sources/manage-data-source-sharing-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
