Zotero website vs. computer-based Zotero

mpaquot
Dear all,

Is it possible to provide a bibliography online (private group) but at the same time not to allow members to synchronise with their own Zotero plugin/standalone?

Thank you!

    This would be possible in an public group with closed membership. For a private group, you can prevent editing, but you cannot prevent viewing of the library in the client (so still sync'ed). What is the use case for this?

    You can do this with a public, closed group - everyone will see it, only members can sync it - but not with a private group, no.
    Members can always sync a group (though you can set it up so they won't be able to change anything in the group).

    Thanks! I guess public group with closed membership is what I need then. But is it a default feature or should I change the settings?

    Sorry, not very clear :-(
    I meant: is 'no sync' a default feature of 'public with closed membership' libraries? Or do I need to change some settings?
  • adamsmith
    only members will ever be able to sync with a group (regardless of group type), so the inability of non-members to sync is the default (and only) setting for public, closed membership groups, yes.
