Ability to add Roles to Library Security

Use Case:

Currently, only users/groups can be added to a library's security settings. It would be ideal if the library security settings would also include Roles. 

There is no way for users that are apart of a library's Roles (and not added as an individual user or a group) to have access to the library. They cannot view the library in their homepage.

I see a great benefit of using Roles for users that don't yet have Google Groups in place, or in replacement of adding users individually as it's time consuming.

Feature Request:

    Thanks for your suggestion in the community.

    I wanted to confirm with you what is the current pain point as a library administrator.

    Is it that:

    • the admin has to reference the users of the roles twice: in the role configuration AND in the library security permissions.

    or

    • that the sharing of the library has to be wide enough to guess who could be in a role (for instances based on a person field and possibly different for every document).

    or something else?

    Hello Thibault,

    The main pain point is having to individually add users into Library Security settings when they have not yet been configured into a Google Group but are apart of a Role. There seems to be somewhat of a disconnect between Roles and Library Security settings. 

    This is the case for public libraries where all users have read-only access. For instance, I am looking to add the Role "Approvers" as library Contributors (via Library Security settings) instead of creating a group that mirrors/duplicates the role "Approvers". There is duplicated effort in that sense. 

    Let me know if this makes sense.

    Thanks.
