# Template Access
How do I provide access rights to templates for any user or a department?
*Note: Only Admin users have the privilege to grant access rights to internal users/departments.*
### Step 1: Open Template Management
Log in to your emSigner Admin account and click the **Settings** tab in the top navigation bar.
Under the **Document Management** section, click **Create and Manage Document Templates**.
### Step 2: Open the Access Menu for a Template
In the templates list, find the template/activity you want to grant access to and click the **⋮** (three-dot) menu at the end of its row.
From the menu, select **Grant Access**.
### Step 3: Search and Select Departments
The **Grant Access** window opens, showing the template name under **Granting access to**.
Under **Departments**, use the **Search and select department** box to find and select one or more departments that should have access to this template (for example, *Finance Department*, *Admin Department*).
### Step 4: Search and Select Users
Under **Users**, use the **Search and select user** box to find and select individual users who should have access (search by name or email).
You can grant access to departments, users, or both in the same action.
### Step 5: Confirm Access
Click **Grant Access** to apply your changes, or **Cancel** to close the window without saving.
Access to the template is granted immediately to the selected departments and/or users.
