A resource’s permissions control shows who can use it. This example shares the **pr-screenshots** skill; subscriptions and agent profiles use the same permissions dialog.

## 1\. Open the permissions dialog

Go to **Customize → Skills**. Click the access label on the skill: **yours** for a personal skill, or its directory name for a shared one. You can also open the skill and click **Who can use it**.

Choose **Viewer** to let them use the resource, or **Editor** to let them change it. Click **Save**. You remain the owner; the resource stays in your personal space.

## 3\. Or move it into a shared directory

To make it part of a team’s shared resources, choose **Move into a directory…**. Select the destination, such as **Platform**.

## What changes?

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Individual access | Adds a person’s permission to this resource. The current owner stays the same. |
| Move into a directory | Transfers ownership to the directory. Its access rules apply to the resource. |
| A new directory… | Creates a shared place when the intended people are not already grouped in one. Add people or teams and choose their permissions before saving. |

## Share a subscription the same way

Open **Customize → Agents**, expand the agent, and find the connected subscription. Open its permissions control. Add an individual or move the subscription into a directory, as above.

See [permission levels](https://usefiretower.com/docs/permissions) and [shared subscriptions](https://usefiretower.com/docs/shared-accounts) for the access each role provides.
