Read-Only Access

Read-only access allows you to share your database with colleagues or students on a read-only basis; they cannot edit the data.  To do this you must first create your own personal user account and use it to log into the program.  From within RefWorks click on Update User Info.  Type in a read-only password and click on Update.  Be sure that the read-only password is not the same as the original password.  By giving your login name and read-only password to others you will allow them to search your database, export data and create bibliographies.  They will not be able to edit references, import references or change folders.  A user can tell if they are in read-only mode by looking in the top right corner of the screen - it will say "Read-only".
