Set up access to libraries

Overview

We have a number of ways to grant and restrict access to libraries. There are five content user roles: User, Contributor, Editor, Manager, and Administrator. Each role has specific access rights. We can associate individual users or groups of users with a role.

There are three levels we can assign access to:

• library
• item type per library
• item level

There are two approaches for granting access: additive and subtractive.
