# Managing Shares Centrally From the Portal

The Centralized Share Management feature enables you to manage all cloud-level file shares across multiple edge filers directly from the portal. This ensures near real-time synchronization of share configurations, providing consistent management and visibility between local edge filers and the cloud environment.

CTERA provides a permission, **Edge Filer Management** that you use to manage shares centrally. The user must have the [Edge Filer Management](/v1/docs/user-roles-and-permissions) permission enabled.

Every edge filer that you want share management from the portal must be enabled for central share management. The edge filers must be from version 7.13.x.
