    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_audit.admin, sn_audit.manager, sn_grc_workspace.user

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Audit > Audit Workspace.
    2. Select the tasks icon (Tasks icon).
    3. Create a new audit engagement or navigate to an existing engagement and go to the Cloud files tab.
      The list displays the engagements that are assigned to the logged-in user.
    4. In the Cloud files tab, select Link reference file.
      The Link reference file pop-up is displayed.
    5. In the Select file field, select the reference file that you want to link to the record.
      The field populates the cloud files that are shareable.
      Note:
      You cannot link a non-shareable document as a reference file with other records. The files that are marked as non-shareable are not displayed in the list of available files in the pop-up.
    6. Select Link in the pop-up.
      The reference cloud file that is already associated to other GRC records is now linked. After the file is connected to Microsoft, the auditor or engagement lead gets read or write access based on the defined access permissions.
