Descriptions of library security features

Security feature	Where to perform	Description
Assign rights and roles (in the Administrator Guide)	Central Designer Administrator	Libraries contain published and unpublished resources for reuse within studies. The librarian manages the users who are granted access to a library.
Assign users to library teams	Library	An administrator must add you to a library study team before you can create or modify objects in that library.
Enable and disable a library	Library	Libraries are enabled (or made accessible to other users) by default. The librarian can enable or disable the library at any time.

Note: You cannot search a disabled library.
Publish library objects	Library	You must publish a study object that was created in a library to allow other users to search for it in the Libraries Browser.
Create a library list (in the InForm Design Guide)	Study	You can search only libraries that appear in a study's library list for study objects to include in the study.
Protect and unprotect study objects	Study or library	You can: Protect study objects in studies and libraries to prevent users from making changes. If you protect a study object, all of its children are also protected. Protect an entire study or library.
