# How do I share an item bank in New Quizzes?

You can share an item bank with another user in New Quizzes or to another Canvas course. Item banks can only be shared with users with a teacher, TA, or admin role.

You can choose to share an item bank with view or edit access. Sharing an item bank with view access only allows the user you share with to view the item bank. Sharing an item bank with edit access gives users full access to the item bank, including adding items to the bank, sharing or removing users from the bank, and deleting the bank.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-canvas-admins-can-al"><div>- Canvas Admins can also manage access to item banks for an entire account.
- Instructors can share an item bank to the current course while [creating the item bank](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-an-item-bank-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/593).
- If given the permission by your institution, you can share item banks with sub-accounts.
- Item banks shared to a course are only viewable to admins or instructors enrolled in the course.
- Item banks shared to a user display in each of the courses in which they are enrolled as an instructor or TA.
- When a course is copied that includes a new quiz with an item bank, the item bank is shared with the new course automatically.
