# Publishing SQL parameters

As an Editor user, you have the flexibility to determine wether SQL Parameters controls will be accessible in the public or shared version of the map. You can manage this from the "*Map settings for viewers*" section located at the top right of Builder interface.

Viewer users can then specify parameter values using the Parameters control interface found on the right panel. This enables them to adjust the underlying data according to their unique needs.

{% hint style="info" %}
**This setting will allow Viewer users to select values and re-run SQL queries**.

Please be aware that in many cases this might produce a lot of different combinations of parameters that might not be cached in CARTO's CDN, and queries will reach the data warehouse and be executed, which might have a cost and performance implication.
