# How to share BaseSpace Sequence Hub sequencing data from enterprise domain to public domain

[BaseSpace Sequence Hub](https://www.illumina.com/products/by-type/informatics-products/basespace-sequence-hub.html) (BSSH) is the Illumina cloud-based platform for data management, storage, and analysis. There are three tiers of BSSH subscription - Basic, Professional, and Enterprise. Basic and Professional subscriptions are hosted on the public domain whereas Enterprise subscriptions are hosted on a private domain. BaseSpace Sequence Hub Enterprise users can share a run or project that is in their private domain with a public BaseSpace Sequence Hub user by creating a **collaborative workgroup**. A collaborative workgroup is a gateway to share data with users in the public domain. This article describes how to create a collaborative workgroup to allow data sharing between Enterprise and public BaseSpace Sequence Hub accounts. **Note**: in the example images below, the placeholder email (<admin@domain.com>) and naming (Admin Account) are used for illustrative purposes. Customers must use their respective domain email address.**1.** The administrator of the Enterprise domain creates a collaborative workgroup within their Enterprise domain:

* Navigate to **Settings** from account dropdown.
* Select **Manage Workgroups**.

* Select **New** and enter the information in the required fields.

* Select the **Enable collaborators outside of this domain** option, and then **Create**.

**2.** The Enterprise user transfers the run or project that they want to share with users in the public domain to the newly created collaborative workgroup:

* The Enterprise user first selects the run or project they wish to transfer. The Enterprise user enters their own email address used for logging in to the Enterprise domain as the transfer recipient.
  * Select **Share** > **Transfer** > **Transfer Ownership**.
* If the transfer is successful, a notification is created in the dashboard of the Enterprise user's **personal** space.
* From the Personal space, when presented with accepting the run / project, the Enterprise user accepts the transfer in the context of the **collaborative workgroup** they created for sharing.

  ![](/files/ecppbUAR5pjAS0Kj17dS)
* The run or project should now be visible in the collaborative workgroup. Anyone invited to this workgroup has access/ownership to data within that workgroup.

**3.** The Enterprise user creates a share link with users in the **public domain**:

* Create a [share link](https://help.basespace.illumina.com/collaborate/share-with-collaborators/share-by-link) and copy/paste into an email using the "Get link" option.
* Anyone in the public domain that has the share link will be able to access the data in the collaborative workgroup.
* Note: use this option for runs stored in ICA.

**Best Practices**

After troubleshooting is done or the need for sharing the data is met, the Enterprise user can deactivate the share link to permanently disable it. If needed, the Enterprise user can also transfer the data back from the collaborative workgroup to their Personal space or a private workgroup.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/software/general/software-general-reference_material-list/000001666.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
