# Share a Pentaho Data Service with others

With your data service now [created](https://github.com/pentaho/documentation/tree/main/PDIA/11.0/PDI/Advanced%20Pentaho%20Data%20Integration%20topics/Advanced%20topics%20\(Pentaho%20Data%20Integration%20overview\)/Pentaho%20Data%20Services/Creating%20a%20regular%20or%20streaming%20Pentaho%20Data%20Service=GUID-50C2228F-CB6F-4A20-9F98-E4C2EB5CB409=3=en=.md) and [tested](/pdia-data-integration/archived-merged-pages/pentaho-data-services-archive/test-a-pentaho-data-service.md), you can share it with others so they can identify it, connect to it, and query it.

Perform the following actions to share your data service:

1. Ensure the person or group, with whom you want to share your data service, has the following permissions:
   * Connect, read, and execute a query on the Pentaho Server to retrieve data service data.
   * Read and execute the transformation that contains the data service.
2. Provide the unique data service name as saved to the Pentaho Repository to the person or group that you want to share your data service.
3. If you have optimized the data service, provide the person or group with names and definitions for any parameters that you have created so they can use the parameters when they query the data service.
4. Provide the person or group with the instructions in [Connect to the Pentaho Data Service from a Pentaho tool](https://github.com/pentaho/documentation/tree/main/PDIA/11.0/PDI/Advanced%20Pentaho%20Data%20Integration%20topics/Advanced%20topics%20\(Pentaho%20Data%20Integration%20overview\)/Pentaho%20Data%20Services/Share%20a%20Pentaho%20Data%20Service%20with%20others/Connect%20to%20the%20Pentaho%20Data%20Service%20from%20a%20Pentaho%20tool=GUID-C406767D-79E7-4E78-8807-600143438464=4=en=.md) or [Connect to the Pentaho Data Service from a Non-Pentaho tool](/pdia-data-integration/archived-merged-pages/pentaho-data-services-archive/share-a-pentaho-data-service-with-others/connect-to-the-pentaho-data-service-from-a-non-pentaho-tool.md) depending on how the service is used.

## 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/pdia-data-integration/archived-merged-pages/pentaho-data-services-archive/share-a-pentaho-data-service-with-others/share-a-pentaho-data-service-with-others.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.
