    <p>Consider rewriting this page from a "how do I not share connection info
    with other users" because sharing is the default.</p>
  </comment>

  <p>When you set up a network connection, all other users on your computer
  will normally be able to use it. If the connection information is not shared,
  you should check the connection settings.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Network</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Network</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Wi-Fi</gui> from the list on the left.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click the 
      <media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system.png"><span its:translate="yes">settings</span></media> button to open the connection
      details.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Identity</gui> from the pane on the left.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>At the bottom of the <gui>Identity</gui> panel, check the <gui>Make
      available to other users</gui> option to allow other users to use the
      network connection.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press <gui style="button">Apply</gui> to save the changes.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>Other users of the computer will now be able to use this connection
  without entering any further details.</p>

  <note>
    <p>Any user can change this setting.</p>
