# How to set up access to a goal
By default, only the author or the owner can change the access settings for a goal. To grant this ability to another employee, set the **Full access** access type for them.
The access settings for each object are shown at the top of the screen:
* **Not just for participants** — means that the goal is available to employees who are not specified in its parameters. By default, the goal can be edited by all employees and robots in your organization. Restrict their access if the entity contains personal or other sensitive data.
* **Only for participants** — means that the goal can be viewed only by employees specified in the **Author**, **Owner**, **Participants**, or **Followers** parameters.
{% note tip "" %}
If you create a new object (for example, a project) using the **Link** button on the goal page, the access settings for the project are copied from the goal. You can change them at any time.
{% endnote %}
## Setting up access to a goal {#access}
1. Open the goal page.
1. At the top of the screen, click the name of the current access settings: **Only for participants** or **Not just for participants**.
1. To add a user or group, start typing the name in the search box.
1. To the right of the name or group name, click the icon button and select the access type:
- **View** — the ability to open the goal.
- **Edit** — the ability to edit any goal parameters except the access settings.
- **Full access** — the ability to view and edit the goal, as well as manage access settings for other users.
- **Restrict access** — click to remove the user or group from the list.
1. Click **Save**.
## Linking access settings to the parent {#inheritance}
You can link the access settings of a subgoal to the settings of the main goal. The settings are inherited from the object that is exactly one level above.
1. Open the subgoal page.
1. At the top of the screen, click the name of the current access settings: **Only for participants** or **Not just for participants**.
1. In the dedicated section of the settings window, click **Link**.
You can review the differences between the access settings of the parent goal and the subgoal and decide whether you want to change the settings. To do this, click **Compare**.
{.border-yes}
To disable inheritance of access settings, click **Unlink** in the same section.
{% note tip "" %}
To enable settings inheritance automatically, create a subgoal on the main goal page: under **Subgoals** , click **Create link** → **New**.
{% endnote %}
## Selecting the default access type for new goals {#default-access}
The Tracker administrator can choose which access type is used by default for all new goals in Tracker: only for participants or for other users as well. After a goal is created, the access settings can be changed.
1. In the left panel, click **Administration** → **Goals**.
1. In the **Default access to new goals** list, select the access type.
