# Permission Modes # Permission Modes
Shares created in zrok `v0.4.26` and newer now include a choice of _permission mode_.
Shares created with zrok `v0.4.25` and older were created using what is now called the _open permission mode_. Whether _public_ or _private_, these shares can be accessed by any user of the zrok service instance, as long as they know the _share token_ of the share. Effectively shares with the _open permission mode_ are accessible by any user of the zrok service instance.
zrok now supports a _closed permission mode_, which allows for more fine-grained control over which zrok users are allowed to `zrok access` your shares.
zrok defaults to continuing to create shares with the _open permission mode_. This will likely change in a future release. We're leaving the default behavior in place to allow users a period of time to get comfortable with the new permission modes.
## Creating a Share with Closed Permission Mode
Adding the `--closed` flag to the `zrok share` or `zrok reserve` commands will create shares using the _closed permission mode_:
```
$ zrok share private --headless --closed -b web .
[ 0.066] INFO main.(*sharePrivateCommand).run: allow other to access your share with the following command:
zrok access private 0vzwzodf0c7g
```
By default any environment owned by the account that created the share is _allowed_ to `zrok access private` the new share. But a user trying to access the share from an environment owned by a different account will enounter:
```
$ zrok access private 0vzwzodf0c7g
[ERROR]: unable to access ([POST /access][401] accessUnauthorized)
```
The `zrok share` and `zrok reserve` commands now include an `--access-grant` flag, which allows you to specify additional zrok accounts that are allowed to access your shares:
```
$ zrok share private --headless --closed --access-grant anotheruser@test.com -b web .
[ 0.062] INFO main.(*sharePrivateCommand).run: allow other to access your share with the following command:
zrok access private y6h4at5xvn6o
```
And now `anotheruser@test.com` will be allowed to access the share:
```
$ HOME=/tmp/zrok zrok access private --headless y6h4at5xvn6o
[ 0.049] INFO main.(*accessPrivateCommand).run: allocated frontend 'VyvrJihAOEHD'
[ 0.051] INFO main.(*accessPrivateCommand).run: access the zrok share at the following endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:9191
```
## Adding and Removing Access Grants for Existing Shares
If you've created a share (either reserved or ephemeral) and you forgot to include an access grant, or want to remove an access grant that was mistakenly added, you can use the `zrok modify share` command to make the adjustments:
Create a share:
```
$ zrok share private --headless --closed -b web .
[ 0.064] INFO main.(*sharePrivateCommand).run: allow other to access your share with the following command:
zrok access private s4czjylwk7wa
```
In another terminal window you can execute:
```
$ zrok modify share s4czjylwk7wa --add-access-grant anotheruser@test.com
updated
```
And to remove the grant:
```
$ zrok modify share s4czjylwk7wa --remove-access-grant anotheruser@test.com
updated
```
## Limitations
As of `v0.4.26` there is currently no way to _list_ the current access grants. This will be addressed shortly in a subsequent update.
