Nexset Sharing & Collaboration

This article provides instructions for and information about sharing Nexsets to enable collaboration with other users in Nexla.

1. Introduction​

In Nexla, users can share any detected or transformed Nexset that they own with other users or teams, their entire organization, and/or an email or email group.

Any Nexset can be quickly and easily transformed in the Nexset Designer to produce transformed Nexsets in which PII data is encrypted by hashing, data that is not needed by particular groups is removed, etc. This can streamline data processes and enable broad collaboration, while still adhering to data protection regulations.

When a Nexset is shared with one or more users, the recipient users can view, perform transformations on, and share the data contained in that Nexset. If the shared Nexset is a transformed Nexset, recipient users will not have access to the Nexset from which it was derived.
