 ## Available permission levels
 
-You can share your content with specific users or roles. As a best practice we recommend sharing at the search or dashboard level, or if you want to share a folder, share a subfolder. All contents of the folder are shared, you can’t exclude a particular content item in a folder as private content.

If all contents of the folder are shared, you can’t exclude a particular content item in a folder as private content.
 
-By default each permission level allows the user to grant that level of permission to another user. By default we assume that if a user has View access, for example, that they would be capable of deciding who should also have View access. If you have content where this is not the case, you can restrict their rights to allow others to have View, Edit, or Manage access.
