Is it true that an administrator can directly change the contents of a subscribed library?

An administrator cannot directly change the contents of a subscribed library because subscribed libraries are designed to provide a read-only view of content that is managed by a source library. The purpose of a subscribed library is to enable administrators to consume and access content, such as virtual machine templates, without modifying the original items stored in the source library.

Any changes that need to be made to the content must be done in the source library instead. This setup preserves the integrity of the original library's contents and ensures that all subscribed libraries reflect the latest updates from the source library without risking any unintentional modifications.

Therefore, the statement regarding the ability to directly modify a subscribed library is false, as the architecture of libraries in this context is intended to maintain a clear distinction between content management and content consumption.
