# Local device sharing settings

## Local Device sharing settings

When using a local device, you can configure the **sharing settings** of the connected device. This lets you either share the device with other users or block access from them.

### How to configure

1. Open **Settings** and select **Local Device**.

1. A list of devices that have been connected in the currently selected workspace will appear.
2. You can change each device’s display name in NoCode Mobile and modify its sharing setting.

#### Available sharing settings

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Personal | Only you can record or run tests with this device. The device is hidden from other users |
| Shared | All users in the workspace can record or run tests with this device |
| Disabled | This device does not appear in the selected workspace |

Newly connected devices are set to **Personal** by default.

## FAQ

### The device is not showing up

While the device is connected via Autify CLI, access NoCode Mobile; the device will then appear in the list. If you use multiple workspaces, make sure the workspace where the device was connected matches the workspace you have currently selected.

### Is a device set to **Personal** completely invisible to other users?

Other users cannot record or run tests with the device, but the device name may still appear in certain places (e.g., “Last Recording Environment” in a test scenario).

### Can I add a **Personal** device to a test plan?

Yes. However, if another user runs that test plan, the test will fail with an error and will not be executed.
