A method, computer program product, and system for sharing cloud data resources among associated users. Upon receipt of a request from an associate of a primary user to share a cloud data resource, a sharing profile of the primary user is evaluated to determine if the associate is permitted to share the requested resource, and if so, the requested resource is made available to the associate. The shared cloud data resource can be a database application, data object, data storage resource, or a portion thereof.
