  7. In the Share with line, specify the users who get access to the data: select a category from the first drop-down list and a set of users from the second drop-down list or lookup field.
  8. Select a setting for Default Account, Contract and Asset Access.
  9. In the remaining fields, select the access setting for the records associated with the shared account territories.
