# Managing Amazon Quick Sight topic permissions
Manage topic permissions

When you share your topics with others in your organization, you might want to control who can change them. To do this, specify which users are viewers and which are co-owners. *Viewers* can see the topic in the search bar when they select a topic from the list, but they can't change the topic data. *Co-owners* can see the topic in the search bar, and they can also change the topic.

**To assign topic permissions to your users**

1. From the Quick start page, choose **Topics**.

1. On the **Topics** page that opens, open the topic that you want to manage permissions for.

1. On the topic page that opens, choose **Share** at upper right.

1. On the **Share topic with users** page that opens, choose **Manage topic access**.

1. On the **Manage topic permissions** page that opens, find the user that you want to manage access for, and then for **Permission**, choose one of the following options:
   + To allow a user to view and change the topic, choose **Co-Owner**.
   + To allow a user to view the topic only, choose **Viewer**.
