How to share a configuration with cooperaters?

I can share a method by add a new user in the permission list. But, I also want to share the configuration. Thanks!

Ah, I have been corrected. There's a simpler way to do it--strike everything I said before.

1. Go to your Workspace where you have the method config.
2. Go to the Method Configurations tab, and click on the method you want to share
3. Click the "Publish" button to publish it to the Method Repository. This will not make it public.
4. Click over to the Method Repository and find your method. Under the Summary tab, you will have a Permissions button. Click that.
5. Here you can share with select users (like your collaborators), or check the "Publicly Readable" checkbox to make your configuration available to everyone.

So there are two possible ways you could do this:

To share with everyone:

1. Go to your Workspace where you have the method config.
2. Go to the Method Configurations tab, and click on the method you want to share
3. Click the "Publish" button to publish it.

Now your method config will be available to everyone. They will be able to find it in the method repository under the method for which it was written.

To share with only specific collaborators:

1. Go to your Workspace where you have the method config
2. Under the Summary tab, click the "Permissions" button to the left hand side.
3. Add the email addresses for your collaborators here, or if you have a group with all of them in it, you can add the GROUP_xxx name to add all of them at once.

Now your method config will be available to the collaborators you shared it with. They will also need to have permission to view the method that the config is tied to, if they don't already. In order for your collaborators to import the config into their own workspaces, they simply need to go to their workspace, in the Method Configurations tab, select "import configuration", then "copy from another workspace".

Thanks @KateN ! But, is it possible to just share a method config, not an entire workspace?
