For more details and other sharing options, see the next sections below

Share your map with other specific people 

In this case the shared map users will be asked to Sign in with their Google account to access and also on the first time to select the file from the Picker dialog to authorize access

Share your map  within your Organization (domain)

In this case see note about how the Picker can discover and show the shared map file 

Share your map for public access without using a Google account

In this case you also have to publish your map in Google Cloud Storage, as explained in this post
