# Share a semantic model

Share a semantic model by adding a user or role and assigning permissions to let them view, edit, or share the model.

Complete the following steps to share a semantic model with a user or role:

1. Log into the **Pentaho User Console** (PUC).  
2. Open the Semantic Model Editor by taking one of the following actions:

   * If you are using the Modern Design of PUC, in the menu on the left side of the page, click **Semantic Model Editor**.
   * If you are using the Classic Design of PUC, click **File** > **Semantic Model Editor**. 

   The **Semantic Model Editor** opens.  
3. In the **Semantic Models** list, navigate to the model you want to share by searching or scrolling through the list. 
4. In the row that contains the semantic model you want to share, click the **More Actions** icon, and select **Share**. The **Share *****Name***** Model** window opens. 
5. In the **Add username or role** box, enter or select the user or role to which you want to share the model. 
6. Click the **Allowed to** box. A window with options for sharing opens.
7. Turn on the toggle for one or more of the following options: 
   * **Change Connection of Semantic Models**
   * **Delete Semantic Models**
   * **Edit Semantic Models**
   * **Share Semantic Models**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/semantic-model-editor/sharing-a-semantic-model/share-a-semantic-model.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
