Administrator collaboration in a Subscription Group

If your Subscription Group contains two or more libraries, the Subscription Group administrator and the Institution administrators work together to plan and coordinate group activities.

Some setup tasks are done by the Subscription Group administrator and some by the Institution administrators. The Subscription Group administrator also does the Institution administrator tasks for his or her own library.

Some groups may decide that the Subscription Group administrator will assist the Institution administrators with some of their setup tasks.
