Upgrade StorageGroups and Accounts
I created my library in a group folder and want to share it with my colleagues,
so that everyone can change it and work with it. However, at the moment I am the only one with a Zotero account.
My question is this: Is creating an account for every single person and then inviting them to the group folder the best option? Or is it possible to create an account for the whole department which everyone can use simultaneously? If it is, I would prefer that second option.

adamsmithWhile possible, I'm not sure it's ideal to work with a single account. It will work well initially, but problems will start once people will want their own Zotero accounts and then have to be walked through how to do that in order not to put their personal data into everyone's account. It takes 2minutes to set up a Zotero account -- I'd recommend you require that step to save yourself from spending hours on cleaning up messes later.
