<a name="sharing-perms"></a>

**Permissions for owners**

Owners are responsible for managing a shared prefix list and its entries. Owners can view the IDs of the AWS resources that reference the prefix list. However, they cannot add or remove references to a prefix list in AWS resources that are owned by consumers. 

Owners cannot delete a prefix list if the prefix list is referenced in a resource that's owned by a consumer.

**Permissions for consumers**

Consumers can view the entries in a shared prefix list, and they can reference a shared prefix list in their AWS resources. However, consumers can't modify, restore, or delete a shared prefix list.
