What Permissions Do I Need to Create, Edit, and Share Skills?
Last updated: November 5, 2026
Create a Skill
No special permission is required to create a Skill for yourself to use. You can create a Skill from Ambition's Skill Library or create a custom Skill.
To create a Skill for others to use, you'll need one of the Skill sharing permissions detailed in the Share a Skill section.
Edit a Skill
No special permission is required to edit a Skill that you created. You can edit any Skill created by another user as long as you've been given editing access to it. Learn more about granting Skill editing access to others.
Share a Skill
Ambition offers two Skill sharing permissions:
The AI: Skill Sharing: Can Share Skills for Subordinate Users permission allows you to share Skills you created with your direct and skip-level reports. With this permission, you'll see All managed employees and Specific managed employees options.
The AI: Skill Sharing: Can Share Skills with Anyone permission is required to share a Skill with anyone in your company.
Org admins can share Skills with anyone in your company.
