Library Administration

Site Administrators can create and maintain Libraries within ShareBase. A library is the overarching space in which users work with folders and documents. Libraries allow you to organize a group of folders around a given function. Libraries contain folders, which contain documents. Libraries cannot contain documents directly.

All Site Administrators have administrative rights to corporate libraries. Using the public ShareBase API, Site Administrators can create the folder structure for any corporate library in their deployment. Within the ShareBase Web interface, Site Administrators can create the folder structure for any corporate library to which they at least have View rights.

Site Administrators have full control over the contents of any folder they create in a corporate library. However, if a different user creates a folder at the root of a corporate library, a Site Administrator's ability to interact with the folder is limited by his or her share permissions. Share permissions may be explicitly granted at the folder level or inherited from the library level.
