# Network

The Network feature allows you to share case data with collaborators according to the network's sharing policy. By subscribing to a network, you agree to share you cases' data with all network collaborators based on these policies.

You can view the level of sharing for each network in the Network table. For any questions or requests regarding a network, please contact the network admin.

The Network page is accessible via the dropdown menu under [Settings](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/settings.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The Network page is accessible only for users with a Manager [role](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/settings/user_roles.md).
{% endhint %}

The dedicated network manager can:

* [Create](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/analyze_network/create_a_network.md) networks;
* [Define](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/analyze_network/set_network_data_sharing_policy.md) data sharing policies for each network;
* [Leave](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/analyze_network/leave_a_network.md) or [delete](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/analyze_network/delete_a_network.md) networks.
