# Share connectors across workspaces

## Overview

{{glossary.Connector}}s and their {{glossary.Connector Function}}s are critical assets for the functioning of your operations. In some cases, it makes sense to share these assets across {{glossary.Workspace}}s.
**Examples**
* Every workspace should be reporting defects to the same SQL table, with the same format, so the connector writing to that table should be shared
* Every workspace is interacting with our global SAP instance, I want to share this asset across workspaces

In other cases, Connectors really only make sense in the context of one workspace.
**Examples**
* Facility 1 is the only facility that uses lifeX andon lights, so sharing that connector with other sites doesn't make sense
* Facility 2 is adopting a new warehouse management system, but this system hasn't been rolled out to other facilities
* Facility 1 has their own credentials to talk to the shared SQL database

## How to Use
:::(Info) (Note)
Historically all connectors were shared across workspaces, when connectors across workspaces is enabled, all existing connectors will set to `global` to maintain behavior.

### On Creation
On creation, new {{glossary.Connector}}s are scoped only to that {{glossary.Workspace}}. This is indicated by the absence of the globe icon next to the connector name:

### Share with another Workspace
To share this connector with other {{glossary.Workspace}}s:
1. Select **"..."** menu next to the connector.
2. Select **Assign**.

3. Pick which workspaces you would like to share this connector with, or select a single workspace to move this connector to.

4. Click **Assign**.

When `All Workspaces` is selected, that connector is exposed in the connectors page in all workspaces. When a specific workspace is selected, it only appears within that workspace (and disappears from the original source workspace).
