* The ***Share Model*** page opens.
* Select one of the following tabs according to your needs:
  * **USER:** to share with specific users
  * **USER GROUP:** to share with a predefined group of users
  * **EXCLUDE USER:** to prevent specific users from accessing the Model
* Use the search function to locate a particular user or user group you want to share the Model with.
* In the **USER** tab, select the individual user or multiple users you wish to share the Model with (refer to the example image). Alternatively, you can pick the **USER GROUP** option to share with an entire group, or use **EXCLUDE USER** to deny a user access to the Model.
* Click on the single arrow icon to transfer the selected user or group to the share list. (Clicking the double arrow icon will transfer all users/groups from the left panel to the right panel). You can also select multiple users or user groups to share the model.
