A shared library is a personal library that you have given selected users access to. Users are able to view and order documents in a shared library. By default only the owner of the library is able to add documents to a shared library. If you select the option 'Give users full access' users will be able to also add documents in the library. Only the user who added the document or the owner of the library are able to delete documents.
