If at any time you want to see or edit sharing permissions for an asset, click the "Edit Permissions" button at the bottom of the Sharing options window.

The Edit Permissions window allows you to see which Users and Groups have access to the asset. You can also remove their access, which takes away their ability to view or edit the asset.

From the Edit Permissions window you can also give specific Users and Groups permission to download the asset to their local machine, if downloads is turned enabled as an institutional option for your Warpwire instance. Do this by selecting "Download" from the drop-down menu next to the User or Group.
