# Network sharing configuration

We offer four sharing modes that are set for each type of data per network:

<table><thead><tr><th width="209"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><em>Mandatory</em></td><td>always shared by default</td></tr><tr><td><em>Not shared</em></td><td>never exposed to the network</td></tr><tr><td><em>Restricted</em></td><td>shared in cases with or without patient’s <a href="case_subject_consent_for_extended_sharing">consent</a> to <em>Extended</em> sharing</td></tr><tr><td><em>Extended</em></td><td>shared only in cases with patient’s <a href="case_subject_consent_for_extended_sharing">consent</a> to <em>Extended</em> sharing</td></tr></tbody></table>

Network configuration is done by the network manager in [*Settings*](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/settings) > *Network*. One organization may participate in multiple networks under different terms.

### Data that could be shared via *Network* includes:
