Note: Any combination of permissions may be granted to a user that is considered a librarian. A user needs Read and Write permissions in this area to add files, Manage to set permissions and file settings, and Remove to delete items.
Librarians are responsible for managing content within one or more areas of the Library in the Content Collection; these users are granted read, write, manage, and remove permissions to an area(s) of the Library. Initially, no librarians exist in the system. Users may be granted librarian permissions by the Administrator.

Administrators may grant users permissions to be a librarian. A librarian may add permissions for others within the area(s) of the Library he or she has Manage permission. As the Administrator, you may decide to grant a single user librarian permissions for the entire Library. This librarian could then be responsible for creating other librarians and overseeing the management of all content in the Library.
