# Sharing and permissions

Odyssey comes with fine-grained permission controls of your spaces.

## Share a space with your organization

Anyone that is a `member` of your current organization will be able to see any space you create within that organization.

The permission of these users depends on their organization role. `admins` and `editors` have `can edit` permissions on spaces, while `viewers` only have `can view` permissions.

## Share a space with one person

You can invite people outside your organization by opening the `Share` menu.

When in a space, go to `Share` button at the top right.

Enter the person's email address in the space provided, choose a level of access from the dropdown (i.e. can view, can edit), and click Invite.

## Share a space with the web

To make your space visible to anyone that has the link, you can turn on `Publish space`.

Anyone that joins through the `Publish space` method will have `can view` permissions. If you want any of these users to have edit access, you can invite them individually.

## Using Odyssey Authentication

By default, published spaces have **Odyssey's Authentication** enabled. This allows you to more easily track who is entering your space by having users sign in with their email.&#x20;

You disable this, and users will be able to enter your space immediately.&#x20;

When embedding is turned on this is also automatically disabled.

{% hint style="success" %}
When using Odyssey Authentication users only sign-in one time, and then will be automatically signed-in on all future visits to your content.

## Permissions

Permissions on spaces are easy to understand. All users have one of two permissions:

* `can edit`: The user is able to add or edit content in the space.
* `can view`: The user cannot edit any content in the space.
