This permission +is not associated with any profiles by default, and replaces +the `CREATE_LASSO`, `UPDATE_LASSO`, and `DELETE_LASSO` permissions. + +To define new library groups, use the Server Administration Library +Groups and Library Group Maps pages. An autogen and a reload of +Apache should be performed after making changes to Library Groups.
