LEXUS allows you to share your lexica with other registered LEXUS users. You can either assign them read rights only, which will enable to user to view the lexicon in his or her workspace. You may also grant write rights to other users. This means that this user can open the lexicon in his or her workspace and make adjustments to it. There is no option to grant partial write right.

To grant rights for a lexicon, move to the Workspace and select the lexicon from the list in the left frame. In the right frame select the Readers tab (or the Writers tab in case you want to grant writing rights). In Readers you will see the currently assigned readers to the lexicon, which initially is just the workspace holder (you). Load users in LEXUS users to see all registered LEXUS users. Select the users that you wish to grant rights to and drag them to the Readers frame (see Figure 6.1).

In the lexicon list, lexica that have their origin in an external workspace have a different icon than the ones created in the workspace. They are indiacted with a hand holding a blue book.
