Create a new library, add library members, and assign library permissions to the members. 1. From the My Libraries section of the Libraries tab home page, click **New**. 2. Enter a unique library name. If you want, add a description. 3. Click **Save and Add Members**. If you want to add members later, click the **Save and Close** button. 4. On the **Libraries** tab, click the library name if the library isn’t already open. 5. In the **Members** section, click **Add Members**. If the member you want to add isn’t listed, type their first name in the search box and click **Find**. 6. Select members from the Available Members box. Members can include individual Salesforce CRM Content users or public groups containing Salesforce CRM Content users. If you have many Salesforce CRM Content users, create a public group and add it to a library rather than adding users to the library individually. 7. To add the members to the library, click **Add**. 8. Click **Next**. 9. Select a library permission for each user or public group and click **Save**. For more information, see [Manage Library Permissions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.content_workspace_perm.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A library permission is a group of privileges assigned to each Salesforce CRM Content library member. It determines the tasks that a member can perform in a particular library. The same user can have a different library permission in each library."). Libraries are available to users even if they don’t have Salesforce CRM Content licenses. In Lightning Experience, users without Content licenses can view libraries and work with library files and folders. In Salesforce Classic, they can view libraries and access files from libraries. Libraries are available without Content by default. Manage these settings in two places: - To enable access for everyone in your org, go to Setup. Enter General Settings in the Quick Find box, then select **General Settings**. Select **Libraries in Salesforce Files**. - To control access for a subset of users, use the Access Libraries permission, available for profiles and permission sets on most standard user licenses.
