	Settings for sharing is controlled through the address book properties accessible
	through the More actions menu behind the gear icon the footer in the :ref:`addressbook-groups` list.

	1. Select the address book you want to share.
	2. Choose Edit address book from the actions menu.
	3. Switch to the Sharing tab in the properties form on the right.

	The table displays who already has permission to see and modify the selected address book.

	Subscribe to Shared Address Books
	---------------------------------

	Address books shared by others are not showing up right away in the directories list of the web client.
	Switch to :ref:`Settings > Folders <settings-folders>` to see all resources you can access.
	There's a shortcut to this: click Manage folders in the actions menu behind the gear icon
	located the footer of the directory list.

	In order to make a shared address book appear in the address book view, locate it in the folder manager
	and check the Subscribed mark in the list. Only subscribed directories are visible in the address book view.
