Dataset access is separate from map access. Keep a dataset private, share it with groups, or publish it for anyone to view and download.

## Start here

**[How dataset access works](/docs/dataset-access/concepts-dataset-access)**

Understand public access, group access, account roles, and edit permissions.

**[Configure dataset access](/docs/dataset-access/configure-dataset-access)**

Set public availability and grant View or Edit access to groups.

**[Access settings reference](/docs/dataset-access/dataset-access-settings)**

Look up every control and the rules that combine access states.

## Share a dataset

**[Share with groups](/docs/dataset-access/share-dataset-with-groups)**

Give signed-in account members View or Edit access through a group.

**[Share publicly](/docs/dataset-access/share-dataset-publicly)**

Let anyone open and download a dataset without signing in.
