Sharing and Unsharing Projects
All users except external users and collaborators can share projects. However, in Business and Enterprise accounts access roles may affect what a user can share.
To see a project in Wrike, it must be shared with you. This means that the projects you see in your workspace may be different from those your teammates see in their workspaces.
Once you share a project with users they can:
Access, view, and edit its content or the folder attributes such as status and start/end dates.
Regular users with full access will be able to share the project with others.
Sharing is inherited, so the sharing applies to all subprojects and folders contained in the project.
Important
By default, sharing is inherited from the top down. When you share one project from any folder, project, or space that isn't shared with the user (or a user group) they won't get access to the content of the whole location. However, when you share a folder or a project with the user (or a user group) they automatically get access to all tasks there (as well as to subfolders and subprojects).

If you see a lock 8 icon instead of an X, the task must stay shared with the corresponding person (it can’t be unshared). Hover over the lock icon to see an explanation for why it can’t be unshared.
Note
Users on Business and Enterprise accounts can change the access roles of users within a project. In Free and Professional accounts users get full access when you share a project with them.
