Zotero for group use - small non-profit organization
I work in a small research department of a small non-profit organization.I have used Zotero for my personal reference management needs, and am trying to figure out if/how to make this work for our organization. We have about 5-10 people who are regular users of various sets of references, and there is a lot of overlap between them.
I would like to set up a reference manager system that would continue if/when any single individual (such as myself) leaves the organization. Can I set up an account for the organization, and use the share library function for individual people? Can an organization, rather than an individual, be the "owner" of a library? If an individual has to be an owner, can that person transfer ownership to someone else?

I would like to have something like "institutional account" with "employers/personal collections" and "group collections". Administrator of an institutional account see all items in all collections, (optionally) see a log of each record's changes and can setup rights (which employer/personal account can read/write/edit) for individual collections. Notes and tags in employers/personal collections are strictly personal but notes and tags in the group collection are visible or editable for all members of this group. If I have an item in the two separate group collections then the notes and tags from one collection are not showed in the second collection, but changes in metadata or in related documents should by synchronised through the collections. A user with employer/personal account can decide which notes and tags will be synchronised between two collections. Specific rules I see for attachments. The main document (including supplementary materials) should be shown in all collections, but all others attachments should have similar rules as notes and tags.
And since that's usually the next question: yes, everyone else can have a free account and can still add and sync unlimited files to and from the group.
Yes, you can transfer ownership, if it ever comes to that.
I have searched through this Forum, and cannot find the info I need. Thanks in advance for assistance any of you can offer.
Thank you.
