# Sharing

You can share assets with one or more business units that have Content Builder Sharing enabled.

Add sharing business units to the asset as an array, using the `sharingProperties` object. To share an asset, include the enterprise business unit's MID in the asset's `sharedWith` property.

## Sample Asset with Sharing Properties

```json
{
  "name": "NTO Welcome Series Email",
  "assetType": {
    "id": 207,
    "name": "templatebasedemail"
  },
  "sharingProperties": {
    "sharedWith": [333, 555],
    "sharingType": "view"
  }
}
```

## sharedWith

An individual asset is shared with the same sharing settings and permissions in all business units. `SharedWith` is a list of up to 100 business unit MIDs that an asset is shared with.

- In Enterprise 1.0 accounts, assets can only be shared down to child business units.

- In Enterprise 2.0 accounts, assets can be shared to any business unit.

- Sharing in agency accounts isn't supported.

- To share an asset with your entire enterprise, set `sharedWith` to 0.

  > Changes to the `sharedWith` property are asynchronous.

## sharingType

`SharingType` indicates the permission that you are granting to the list of MIDs in `sharedWith`. Asset sharing has three valid types.

- `view` - Recipients can view the shared asset and select it to be sent in a message, but they can’t edit or move the content.

- `edit` - Recipients can edit the shared asset, but they can’t move it. Any edit made in one business unit appears in the other business units that have access to the content. Edit is the only sharing type allowed for categories.

- `local` - This option is available for emails only. Recipients can create a local edit of the email, which appears only in their business unit as a separate asset with its own Customer Key and ID. This edit doesn't overwrite the shared email in other business units. When you create a local edit, the original shared email no longer appears in the recipient's business unit. However, if you delete the local edit, the original shared email appears again. If the business unit that shared the original email deletes or unshares the original, local edits are deleted.
