I thank you all for your help.
Unfortunately that is not exactly what I am looking for.
What I was thinking was, say users go to example.org where they are prompted for a username and password. After inputting their unique username/password combo, they are then allowed to search the library, view documents either online or download them and then, given sufficient permissions, edit the metadata for that file so that it accurately reflects the file contents.
This means I don't need to edit the metadata myself (an impossible task) and also provides a framework to track who has downloaded what and who is contributing to the site by updating the metadata.
