Sharing applied
The sharing functionality is useful in several scenarios. One use-case is setting up a
DHIS instance for a global organisation with operations in multiple countries. Typically the
- organisation has a set global indicators and reports which should apply to all countries,
- while all countries will have the need for country-specific indicators and reports. In this
- scenario the following approach could work:

A similar approach could work for a scenario with a donor, multiple funding agencies and
implemeting partners in a country, where user groups could be set up for each of those
entities.
