Which object stores Content Library-Members list?

I need to find if current logged in user has just read(Viewer) access to a Library or write(Admin/Author) access.

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

As on today (Spring'2017), Salesforce stores Content Library Members in ContentDocumentLink Object.

Let's say you upload a file under any record or chatter, the file reference is retrieved from ContentDocument object. ContentDocument represents the library in Salesforce CRM Content or Salesforce Files.

Based on the ContentDocumentId, you can retrieve the ShareType and LinkedEntityId from ContentDocumentLink object.

SELECT Id, ShareType, LinkedEntityId, Visibility
FROM ContentDocumentLink 
WHERE ContentDocumentId = '069q00000001jv0'

ShareType

Description

Required. The permission granted to the user of the shared file in a library. This is determined by the permission the user already has in the library. This field is available in API version 25.0 and later.

V

Viewer premission. The user can explicitly view but not edit the shared file.

C

Collaborator permission. The user can explicitly view and edit the shared file.

I

Inferred permission. The user’s permission is determined by the related record. For shares with a library, this is defined by the permissions the user has in that library.

LinkedEntityId

ID of the linked object. Can include Chatter users, groups, records (any that support Chatter feed tracking including custom objects), and Salesforce CRM Content libraries.

Visibility

Specifies whether this file is available to all users, internal users, or shared users. This field is available in API version 26.0 and later. Visibility can have the following values.

AllUsers—The file is available to all users who have permission to see the file.

InternalUsers—The file is available only to internal users who have permission to see the file.

SharedUsers—The file is available to all users who can see the feed to which the file is posted. SharedUsers is used only for files shared with users, and is available only when an org has private org-wide sharing on by default. The SharedUsers value is available in API version 32.0 and later.

Possible Suggestion/Solution #2

Update: There isn't currently an object exposed with the ContentWorkspace Member details as configured against the Library.

Screenshot of the Members section from the UI:

I believe a SOQL query against ContentWorkspace will only return records that the current user has access to. However, this won't indicate the level of access.

Consider promoting the idea: workspace permissions


I would start with ContentWorkspaceDoc.IsOwner.

Description

Read only. Indicates whether the library owns the document and determines permissions for that document (true) or not (false). Documents can belong to more than one library, but only one library owns the document and determines its permissions.
