Sharing a data source

Share Felt Servers, Cloud sources, and Raster infrastructure with custom permission settings and public or private access.

Share menu

To share a data source, open it from the Data sources section of the workspace homepage or in-map library and click the Share button in the source's header.

From this menu you can:

  • invite collaborators directly by email,

  • control workspace-wide access to the source, or

  • change the permission of an existing member on the source.

The Global Library is visible to every workspace and has no sharing controls.

Sharing across the workspace

Members of the workspace can access data sources marked as public, or private ones they're invited to directly. Data source admins can set the default permission for all members with access to a public data source.

Setting
Description

None (private)

Only members directly invited to the source can see it. A lock icon appears on the source in the sidebar. The most secure setting.

View

Every workspace member can see the source and preview its layers.

Edit

Every workspace member gets Edit on the source, capped by their workspace license (Viewers stay at View).

Invite collaborators by email

Type one or more addresses into the email field, pick a permission, and click Invite. Invitees who aren't already workspace members receive an invitation via email.

Admin-only actions

Only Source admins can:

  • Invite or remove other Source admins.

  • Change the Everyone in {workspace} default.
