# canShareMetric()

- Package: [@gooddata/sdk-model](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/index.md)
- Kind: function
- Stability: alpha
- Source: https://github.com/gooddata/gooddata-ui-sdk/blob/rel/11.64/libs/sdk-model/src/permissions/metric.ts

> **Alpha API.** Initial API, highly likely to change outside SemVer. Don't build on it in production. See [API maturity](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/integrations/platform/api-maturity/index.md).
> 

Effective SHARE capability for a single metric.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare function canShareMetric(metricPermissions: AccessGranularPermission[] | undefined, workspacePermissions: IWorkspacePermissions, areMetricPermissionsEnabled: boolean): boolean;
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| metricPermissions | [AccessGranularPermission](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/sdk-model.accessgranularpermission/index.md)[] \| undefined | the metric's own permissions, absent when they were not requested |
| workspacePermissions | [IWorkspacePermissions](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/sdk-model.iworkspacepermissions/index.md) | the user's workspace permissions |
| areMetricPermissionsEnabled | boolean | the enableMetricPermissions feature flag |

**Returns:**

boolean

## Remarks

Same shape as [canEditMetric()](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/sdk-model.caneditmetric/index.md): a workspace admin can always share, otherwise the metric's own SHARE decides. Deliberately not derived from EDIT — the permissions are read independently rather than as an EDIT ⊃ SHARE ⊃ VIEW hierarchy.

Unlike editing, sharing a metric did not exist before enableMetricPermissions, so it stays off entirely without the flag.
