Answer

The correct actions are enabling Folders and Enhanced Sharing under Lightning Email Template settings in Setup and assigning a permission set containing the Access Lightning Email Templates in Outlook and Gmail permission.
Enabling Folders and Enhanced Sharing grants granular folder-level permissions (View/Edit) for Lightning Email Templates. Additionally, assigning the Access Lightning Email Templates in Outlook and Gmail system permission provides users the capability to access and insert those templates directly from the Gmail integration panel.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify template folder access controls
Determine that shared access to Lightning Email Templates requires enabling Folders and Enhanced Sharing in Setup.
Without enhanced folder sharing enabled, users cannot access public or shared folders containing team templates.
2
Identify integration side-panel permissions
Determine that users need the system permission Access Lightning Email Templates in Outlook and Gmail.
This specific permission allows end users to search for and insert Lightning templates directly from the integration pane.
