As economic operator you have access to sharing your subscription with colleagues and collaborator etc. This enables you, as i.e. a consortium of economic operators, to submit a single request or tender, containing contributions from all participants.  
  
1. On the **Tenders** tab, click on "Show tenders" for the relevant tender you want to share access to.

2. On the **Status** tab of the tender subscription, press the green "Share" button.

3. Enter the e-mail address of the person you want to invite to participate in your offer submission. You can also decide whether they should have full or limited access to the registration.

*a. Sharing with full access gives the invitees full access on an equal footing with you.*

*b. Limited access sharing only allows invitees to create their own ESPD response, add and view their own documents.*

4. Under the Sharing tab, the invitation state is displayed. The people who are still listed as 'Invited' have not responded to your invitation or created a user inside ETHICS yet. That is those persons have not gained access to the tender subscription. Once those people have created a user, their status will change to 'Access'. To the left of the people's e-mails, you have the option to resend the e-mail invitation.

5. Under the **Responsible** tab, you can define which responsibilities the users have. These are just designations and have no other function than to inform the contracting authority about who has what responsibility.
