Bases in SeaTable always belong to a user or a group. Therefore, you can share bases either with groups or with individual users . This article highlights sharing a base with an entire group.

Here you can decide individually for each base whether it should be a read share or a read and write share.

You can share your bases both from the home page and from within a base.

Share a base from the home page

Share a base with a group

  1. Go to the home page of SeaTable.
  2. Move the mouse cursor to the base you want to share and click the three dots that appear on the right.
  3. Click Share.
  4. Go to Share with group.
  5. Select the desired group to which you want to share the base.
  6. Set whether you want to assign read and write permissions or read-only permissions.
  7. Click Submit.

Share within a base

If you are currently in a base, you can also create a share without having to switch to the home page. To do this, click the Share icon  at the top right of the base options. The window that opens to create a share looks just like the one on the home page. Just follow the above clicking instructions starting from step 4.

  • You can only share bases with groups you are already a member of.
  • Bases that you have created yourself can be shared at any time, while bases that belong to a group can only be shared with other groups by owners and administrators.
  • A group that has been shared a base by you has no owner rights and thus cannot change the name of the base, for example.
