A product or library inherits the roles defined by its parent organization and the site. Additionally, roles can be defined in the context template used to create the product or library. You can then use these roles in the product or library, or you can add product or library-specific roles to product and library teams.

Each local team contains two fixed roles that cannot be removed: Product or Library Manager and Guest. The Guest role is designed to include user-defined groups and users that are not active team members and need only read access to product or library information.

It is possible to hide the Guest role for product and libraries. For more information, see Hiding the Guest Role.

The products and libraries in which a user is a guest can be seen by selecting the Guest Member view from the Full Product List and Full Library List that is available from the Product and Library tabs.

You define the team members and roles for the product and library local teams that you manage. Each product team has a product manager group and each library team has a library manager group. Any individual that is a member of one of these managers groups has the rights to administer the product or library after it has been created. The creator of a library or product is automatically defined as a member of the product or library managers group, and is identified as the product or library owner, by default.
