When sharing, restricted, where you specify by name who has access to the document, is always the default sharing setting. However, if you want to share a link with a wider audience, Google will first suggest that you share with (Your) Building Staff, which is one of our Target Audiences.

- Restricted: Only users or groups with whom this file is explicitly shared can open the file with this link
- (Your) Building Staff: any members of the building’s All Staff group
- (Your) Building Certified Teachers and Admins: members of the building’s Certified Teachers group
- All District 41 Staff: any members of the All Staff group can open this file with the link
