In the Catalogue view, shared templates are marked with the outstretched hand symbol. 

By default, templates are local to the tenant that creates them (the "owner" enterprise). To share templates, assign scopes to them. 

To share a template with a scope:

1. Go to Users → Scopes

2. Create a scope

   1. For enterprises to use the template, select them in the scope

3. Log in or switch to the enterprise that owns the template

4. Go to Catalogue → Templates

5. Edit a template

6. Go to Scopes

7. Select the scope

   1. To share the template with all enterprises, select Global scope

For more information, see Manage scopes and Manage resource scopes

Screenshot: To share a template with the enterprises in one or more scopes, select template scopes.

To remove enterprise access to a template, remove the scope containing the enterprise. 

• You cannot remove a scope from the template if an enterprise in the scope is using the template, for example, if it has deployed VMs or instances of VMs. 

To make a template private to the owner enterprise, unselect all scopes.

In private cloud, the instances of shared templates belong to the enterprise that created them. When a template has instances, it is "in use" by the enterprises with instances. This may mean that you cannot delete a template without deleting or promoting the instances first.

When you make a shared template unavailable, other enterprises cannot deploy it, but it may not be marked as "unavailable" in the Catalogue of other enterprises until you refresh your Catalogue.
