This is exactly what I am up to, python surely makes things much easier
In your code i can see you use "-- add" with a space. Is there any documentation on how to edit library restrictions and prompt read-only access? I want to suppress the dialog and input it thru one or a series of commands like what you did there.
Thank you in advance
