The TIBCO Spotfire system features a library. Using the Spotfire library, people can publish and share all their analysis material, information links, data sources, etc. The Spotfire library contains a folder structure where you can set permissions on folder level.
While most Spotfire users can open and save files to the library from the normal Open and Save dialogs in TIBCO Spotfire, the Library Administration tool lets certain users access the library in a more administrative role. The Library Administration tool lets you structure the library and its contents. You can copy and move files and folders, create new folders and build folder structures. You can set permissions for folders so that only certain users are allowed access to certain parts of the library. If you want, you can also import content into the library, or export parts of the library to file.
To access the Library Administration tool you must have enabled the license feature Library Administration included in the TIBCO Spotfire Administrator license. Note that this license does not affect the actual permissions set for the various folders in the library, it only enables a user to open the Library Administration tool.
To have full control over the library you must be a member of the Library Administrator group that is always present in the Spotfire system. Members of this group will override any permission levels in the library and have full control of the entire library. Members of this group are also the only ones allowed to create, delete and change permissions for top level folders in the library.
