Manage Content Permissions
To create or edit library permissions in Salesforce CRM Content, from Setup, enter Content Permissions in the Quick Find box, and select **Content Permissions**.

For the Author library permission, select the Add Content, Add Content on Behalf of Others, Archive Content, Add Comment, and Tag Content library privileges. For the Library Administrator permission, select the Manage Library privilege. 1. Assign a name to the library permission. 2. Optionally, enter a description of the library permission. If your organization has several library permissions, consider describing each by its function or with a summary of its privileges. 3. In the Permissions section, select the checkboxes that correspond to the privileges you want to grant to users with this library permission, and click **Save**.
