   1. Anyone. This is not an option that should be used very often--that would mean anyone with a link can access it. 
   2. People in Colorado School of Mines. This would be an option to share broadly with everyone at Mines.
   3. Only people with existing access.
   4. People you choose. Would be suitable for keeping only those who need access, gets the access. This can include people outside of Mines.

4. Under More Settings, there is a section for what the people with the link can do (edit, review, view, can't download). The below screenshot shows those options. There is also an option to set an expiration date for the link to expire.
   
   After you make your choices from step 3 and 4, select Apply.
