It is supported to add, remove or reset (remove all) template permissions. + +When adding or removing permissions to/from a template, it is required to specify account/project name which is being added/removed from the template permissions. + +Global setting "allow.user.view.all.domain.accounts" has a default value of "false". This makes sure that when the user wants to share a template via GUI, he will not be shown the list of all accounts in his domain and he will need to know the name of the destination account with which he is sharing the template.

In this case, the user will be presented with an input field to enter the account name, as on the images below: Review comment: resolved as suggested, thx ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
