Upgrade StorageRestricting permission to additional members in your group
Hi All
Our company are in the process of opening Zotero to all our staff, however we would want the staff to add and edit documents but not delete.
Does this mean we need to create another account for them and share the library or do i have to create a group to manage this permissions individually.
I'm not seeing a part where we can give them access and restrict their permission on a person to person level.
Possible help in this regard please
Regards
Tamlyn

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
If you create a group and have individuals become group members, then you can do more. However, there is not an option to let people add/edit but not delete. Editing can do nearly as much damage, but maybe not as simply as delete.
One workaround that might work is creating two groups - a MAIN and a BETA. Everyone is a member to *both* groups. For the MAIN group, a few people are administrators and have full rights. For the BETA group, everyone has full rights. Use the BETA group has a scratchpad of sorts, where people can add items. The administrators of MAIN then drag-drop these items once a day from BETA to MAIN (and then clear it from BETA). If the item already exists in MAIN, the admins will merge the duplicates. Thus, everyone is able to contribute to MAIN, even though it's a two-step process for admins, but only a few select people can make changes to MAIN.
