When a budget owner shares a Custom budget with other users, then the same budget is created with the same budget settings in their account.

- 1.Click on the budget you want to share with users.

to Request Points.
Request Points
2.Enter the name from whom you wish to request the points and the reason for the points .
Request points
A notification will be received when a budget request has been raised. All such requests can be accessed from the Manage Budget option.
You can either Approve or Decline the request accordingly.
Deleting the budget will revert your and other co-owners' unutilized budgets to your Personal budget.
When you delete an Automated Budget it will remove its access from the current budget recipients. Any unused points remaining in the budget will be moved to Em’s general-purpose budget.
Pausing the budget automation will stop any further distribution of the budget. Any unused budget with the users will continue to remain with the users and will be recovered at the end of the 1st run cycle.
