# Metric Permission & Sharing

## Metric Permission Level

By default, when you create a new metric, only you can see and use the metric. Your team members can see and use your metric(s) only when you share metrics to them.

There are 3 permission levels for metrics on Presight:

<table><thead><tr><th width="266">Permission</th><th>Can perform</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>Owner</strong></mark></td><td><ul><li>Transfer Ownership of metrics to another person;</li><li>Edit/update metrics;</li><li>View metrics, metrics' formulas, use metrics in documents.</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>Edit</strong></mark></td><td><ul><li>Edit/update metrics;</li><li>View metrics, metrics' formulas, use metrics in documents.</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>View</strong></mark></td><td><ul><li>View metrics, metrics' formulas, use metrics in documents.</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

You, as metric owner, can change <mark style="color:blue;">**Metric Permission**</mark> by clicking on the your account name (***Owner***) at the metric owner column.

Then, choose to share to specific team members or to everyone:

Or change the ownership from the <mark style="color:blue;">**Owner**</mark> bar:

{% hint style="warning" %}
When you transfer ownership from yourself to another member, you will automatically be downgraded to **View** permission and lose the right to assign ownership in the future unless reinstated by the new owner.
