Create a component library to manage components that can be reused across multiple applications.

## Before you begin

DevOps Config is now deprecated and no longer supported or available for new activation.

Role required: cdm_admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllDevOps ConfigDevOps Config Workspace.
2. Click the component libraries icon (![Component libraries icon.]()) in the left navigation to open the Component libraries tab.
3. Click Create new library to create a component library.
4. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   {#cdm-comp-library-create__table_vw1_lz3_bxb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Library name | Name of the component library. This name must be unique across all CDM applications and libraries. |
   | Description | Description about the component library, such as what type of components it includes. |
   | Authoring groups | User groups with access to edit the component library. Users in the groups with appropriate roles can view the component library. Note: If you choose an authoring group, make sure you're a member of that group, or you'll lose editing access to the library. However, if you have the cdm_all_app_access and cdm_admin roles, you will have full access to the component library, even if you're not a member of these authoring groups. |
