# Restricted links

### Overview

Restricted links provide a way to share individual stories with members of your Avion organization without giving them full access to the story or the story map.

Restricted links are read-only, which means people that visit the link cannot make changes to the story.

### Grab a restricted link

You can grab a restricted link to a story by using the **Share** button on the top left of the story.

You will be presented with a share screen.

Make sure that **Restricted link** is selected and then copy the link from the **Share URL** section.

### Who can access the restricted link?

By default, story map collaborators as well as org admins and above can access the link. If you check the **Allow read-only access inside your organization** box, all organization members will be able to access the story.

### Are restricted links behind a login screen?

Yes. Anyone that is sent the link will need to sign in to Avion to see the link. Unlike [public links](/docs/story-map/sharing/public-links.md), restricted links are not accessible to people outside of your Avion organization.

### Is there a restricted link to the whole story map?

No, restricted links are only for individual stories.
