# Container Sharing

### Sharing a Container from the Workspace <a href="#sharing-a-container-from-the-workspace" id="sharing-a-container-from-the-workspace"></a>

You can also share a container from Arkain's Workspace. In the Workspace of the container you want to share, click the **\[Share This Container]**(<img src="/files/281DgD9oTE3RUSOqgKjL" alt="" data-size="line">) icon in the Sidebar.

The share options are provided as **segmented buttons**(<img src="/files/efjB97I0QxkSukNbFgrB" alt="" data-size="line">) — *Share as an email* and *Share by link*.

#### **Share as an email**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In the segmented button group, click the **\[Share as an email]** button, enter the email address of the user you want to share the container with.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
When a matching Arkain user appears, click their name to add them to the invitation list. The added users are displayed as badges above the input field — you can click the **✕** icon on each badge to remove them from the list.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Set the sharing permissions by using the dropdown below the input field to define the access level for all invited users before sending the invitation.

<table><thead><tr><th width="241">Permission</th><th>Possible actions</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Readonly</td><td><ul><li>Source code view</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Editable (non-root)</td><td><ul><li>Source code view, <strong>edit</strong></li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Editable (root)</td><td><ul><li>Source code view, edit</li><li><strong>Version control (Git)</strong></li><li><strong>Configuring init script</strong></li><li><strong>URL/Port</strong></li><li><strong>Environment Variable</strong></li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Editable &#x26; sharable (root)</td><td><ul><li>Source code view, edit</li><li>Version control (Git)</li><li>Configuring init script</li><li>URL/Port</li><li>Environment Variable</li><li><strong>Sharing Container</strong></li><li><strong>Changing member permissions</strong></li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **\[Invite]** button to send an invitation email and share the container with the selected users.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can only share a container with a **registered Arkain member's email**. You cannot share a container with the email of a member who is not registered on Arkain.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### **Share by link**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click the **\[Share by link]** button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **\[Copy]**(<img src="/files/SrFCg5nGfJSeyFMeDqWz" alt="" data-size="line">) icon right to the URL and share the URL with the intended recipients.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only members who have been invited to the container will be able to access the container using the link.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If needed, click **\[Refresh]**(<img src="/files/JnVXKSXuDHQWIga4FBBT" alt="" data-size="line">) icon to regenerate a new URL.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Regenerating a link will **invalidate the previous link** immediately.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
