Share templates with users in other organizations
Learn how to share templates or give template access to users who aren't part of your SafetyCulture organization via the web app.
How does sharing templates externally work?
We understand that you may need to occasionally work with users outside your organization and collaborate to complete inspections from templates. With SafetyCulture, you can share your templates with users from other organizations so they can follow the same flows you've built for their checks.
External template sharing options
When sharing templates externally, your options depend on whether the user is part of an organization in the same data center as you or not.
Direct access: This is available for organizations in the same data center as you. Any changes you make will be reflected across organizations in the same data center, as the same template is being used.
Copy: This is available for organizations in a data center different from yours. A snapshot of the template will be shared for the user to import into their account, creating it as a separate template.
If you have direct template access set up for a template, you can edit access rules to have inspection results from users in other organizations available to team members in your organization and vice versa.
