Difference between "My Library" and "Group Library"
I have a library for my account that has been setup as a Group. I have had a problem that I cannot get BibBase to pull in all the records from my group library (N=340). I have been racking my brain and I just discovered that the "My Library" account the group is set up for only has 283 records.
Why the discrepancy? How do I reconcile this so they are both match?

I'm not familiar with BibBase. Can you describe exactly what you are trying to do here?
If a group member adds a publication to the group, why does it not update the user account?
BibBase.org is a tool that generates scripts that query the Zotero API and creates visually and functionally stunning bibliographies on websites. For example, https://www.arcticcirc.net/publications/.
The problem is that BibBase queries the 'user' account so I only get a subset of the publications for the group.
I realize that the group is actually two (or more) 'users', "circ-publications" and the other individual group members!
Is there a way to allow all members to update a single account or am I going about this the wrong way!
The best way to handle this would be to contact the BibBase developer and inquire as to how to set the visualisation to use a specified Group library, rather than a user's personal My Library.
The alternative would be to share the login details for the circ-publications account with everyone who will be editing the library for the web page. But that type of setup would potentially introduce a lot of other headaches depending on how each person is using Zotero.
