Permissions Required for Sharing Between Projects or Programs and Projects
Sharing objects between projects or programs and projects requires specific access control permissions for each context. Some sharing actions and the permissions required in the project and program contexts are listed below. When an object is shared, a SharedContainerMap object is created in the Site context’s System domain and Full Control (All) permission for the SharedContainerMap is granted to the user creating the share, the members of the source context’s Program or Project Managers group, and by default the target context’s Project Managers group. You can specify the roles in the target project that are granted Full Control (All) permission for the SharedContainerMap object by adding the wt.inf.sharing.authorizedRoles property to the wt.properties file. The property does not change the out-of-the-box behavior that grants Full Control (All) permission for the SharedContainerMap object to the user creating the share and the source context’s Program or Project Managers group. For more information on this property, see the properties.html file.
Copy and Paste - Within the project or program context, these actions allow objects to be shared to a project. To share an object to a project, users must have Change Permissions and Read permissions for the object and Read permission for the source context. If the object is a content holder, the user also must have Download permission. In the target project context, the user must have Modify permission for the target folder and must have Create permission for the SharedContainerMap object type at the Site context’s System domain.
Remove Share - Removes the shared object from the target project context. Users must have Read permission for the object, Modify permission on the target project folder, and have Delete permission for the SharedContainerMap object.

Sharing to a program is not supported.
