Hello Felows,  
Many thanks for your work  
I’ve been using Jabref for a while and this school year I star to use it in a caolbaration way with mty students and colleagues.  
It will be great if we can open a on-line database with a username and psw previous defined, anda the acess is already predefined, to make possible diferent classes acess each DB

## Let me clarify :). Using a link on moodle for example to open a shared DB, IIs ti making sense? Tanks in advance António

The feature is already available: [https://help.jabref.org/en/SQLDatabase](https://help.jabref.org/en/SQLDatabase). You should setup a PostgresDB. Also available as cloud hosting.

No write protection support on JabRef side. The database has to be setup accordingly to prevent accidential changes.
