# Inbox Document Sharing

Sharing your [inbox documents](/en/lr/884/) grants automatic access to the uploaded documents to other users in your vault. This can be useful if, for example, after you have uploaded documents to your Document Inbox, another user is responsible for completing document information and [classifying](/en/lr/15020/) the uploaded documents. You can share your inbox documents with both individual users and groups.

To share your inbox documents with other users or groups:

1. Navigate to **Library** > **Document Inbox**.
2. Click **Share Inbox**.
3. In the _Share Document Inbox_ dialog, click into the drop-down box and either type the names of the intended users or groups, or find them in the drop-down list.
4. Click **Add**. The users and groups appear in the _Shared with:_ list.
5. After adding all intended users or groups, click **Apply**.

Once added, Vault automatically shares all inbox documents for which you are the Owner. This applies to both existing inbox documents and any new inbox documents you upload.



## Filtering Documents by Owner

You can change the _Document Inbox_ view to show all documents in inboxes shared with you, or limit it to only documents for which you are the owner. To do so, select either the **All Inbox** or **My Inbox** filter next to the **Share Inbox** button.

<div class="note-border alert-info">
  <div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
    <div><i class="far fa-info-circle"></i></div>
    <div class="alert-text">
      <p><strong>Note</strong>: This filter will not work if the user does not have the <em>Search: User Filters</em> permission enabled in their applicable permission set.</p>
    </div>
  </div>

## About the Inbox Editor Document Role

Users with whom you have shared your Document Inbox are granted the _Inbox Editor_ [document role](/en/lr/895/) on the affected documents. This role grants _View Document_, _View Content_, _Edit Fields_, and _Reclassify_ permissions while the document is in the [_Unclassified_](/en/lr/15020/) lifecycle.

## Inbox Sharing Limitations

The following limitations apply to sharing your inbox with other users or groups:

* You cannot share a Document Inbox which contains 1000 or more documents.
* You cannot share a Document Inbox with more than 50 users or groups.

## Related Permissions

The _Owner_ role for the inbox document lifecycle starting state, in some cases the _Unclassified_ state, must have _Edit Sharing Settings_ permission in order for the **Share Inbox** button to appear. Users must also have _Search: User Filters_ application permission enabled to filter documents by Owner.
