# Publishing Deployments

> Make your deployment accessible to other Fireworks users

By default, deployments are private to your account. Publish a deployment to make it queryable by anyone with a Fireworks API key.

## Publishing a deployment

**Step 1: Find the deployed model ID**

```bash theme={null}
firectl deployed-model list --filter 'model="<MODEL_NAME>" AND deployment="<DEPLOYMENT_NAME>"'
```

**Step 2: Publish it**

```bash theme={null}
firectl deployed-model update <DEPLOYED_MODEL_ID> --public
```

**Step 3: Share the model identifier**

Users can query your public deployment using:

```
<DEPLOYMENT_NAME>
```

## Unpublishing a deployment

To make a deployment private again:

```bash theme={null}
firectl deployed-model update <DEPLOYED_MODEL_ID> --public=false
```

## Use cases

Publishing deployments is useful for:

* **Sharing custom models** – Let others use your fine-tuned models
* **Testing with teams** – Allow team members to access deployments
* **Community contributions** – Share optimized model configurations

<Note>
  Published deployments are still hosted and controlled by your account. You pay for all inference costs.
