Each author must have a unique name defined before they can log in to a Library. The Developer uses this name to keep track of document modifications. For example, the Library and Outline Editor display the name of the user that has currently checked out a document.


You can also configure group membership and Library folder permissions for each author.


Note: The author name is also use to populate the list of names that appear for the Owner property in the Developer. This property allows an author to identify current document ownership or responsibility.
