# Add and Manage Script Actions

NoteThis feature might not be available yet in your organization's environment. If you don't see it, stay tuned!

If you have **Manage Web Application** permission, you can add and manage [Script-based Actions](/v1/docs/script-based-actions-sba) (SBA) from the VDI App using the Action Library.

You can:

- Browse community actions that have been compiled by ControlUp and the ControlUp community. Add community actions to your ControlUp organization so that you can use them in your own environment.
- Manage actions that have been added to your ControlUp organization, including exporting/importing, updating, sharing, and removing actions.

**To access the Action Library:**

1. Open the VDI App with a user that has **Manage Web Application** permission.
2. Go to the **Details** page.
3. Click the **Action Library** icon at the top-right of the real-time grid, or right-click on an item in the real-time grid and click **Action Library**.

## Add Actions from Community Actions

The **Community Actions** tab contains actions created by ControlUp and compiled from the ControlUp community.

When you add a community action to your organization, any user in the **Local Admin** or **ControlUp Admins** security group can perform the action. Note that a user can't perform actions if they belong only to the **Local Admins** group. See [Permissions](https://support.controlup.com/tim-reorg/docs/solve-actions#permissions) for details. You can edit your security policy in the Real-Time Console after adding the action to adjust permissions for the added action.

If you have deleted the **ControlUp Admins** group, you can either contact ControlUp Support or reset default permissions to restore the **ControlUp Admins** group.

**To add community actions, perform the following steps:**

1. In the **Action Library** window, go to the **Community** tab.

2. Search for the action you want to add. You can sort by popularity to see which actions the ControlUp community is using most often.
3. Click **Add Action**.

After you have added an action, you can manage the action in your **Organization** tab of the Action Library.

## Manage Organization Actions

Organization actions are actions that have been added to your ControlUp organization, including community actions, and actions added from the Real-Time Console.

### Export and Import Actions

You can export your organization actions to a JSON file and import them later. You can use this to back up actions, or import them to a different ControlUp organization. Note that you can **not** export and import actions between the Real-Time DX Console and the web interface.

**To export an action**:

1. In the **Action Library** window, go to the **Organization** tab.
2. Select the action you want to export using the checkbox. You can select multiple actions to export them in a single file.
3. Click **Export**.

The actions you selected are exported to a JSON file.

**To import an action**:

1. In the **Action Library** window, go to the **Organization** tab.
2. Click **Import**.
3. Select a JSON file with one or more actions that were exported from the VDI App.

Imported actions are added directly to your organization actions, and can be used by any user that has the necessary permissions.

### Update Actions

If an update is available for one of your organization actions, an update icon appears next to the action in your **Organization** tab. Click on the update icon to update the action.

To update multiple actions at the same time, select the actions you want to update and click the **Update** icon at the top of the list.

### Remove Actions

If you remove an action from your organization, no ControlUp user can perform that action. You can add the action to your organization again.

Note

If you remove an action that was originally created or imported to your organization actions using the Real-Time Console, then the action returns to your **Draft Scripts** in the Real-Time Console.

**To remove an action from your organization:**

1. In the **Action Library** window, go to the **Organization** tab.
2. Select one or more actions that you want to remove using the checkboxes.
3. Click **Remove**.

### Share Actions

If you have created an action that you want to share with the ControlUp community, you can submit it to ControlUp for review. If your action is suitable to be shared, ControlUp will add it to the community actions so that other ControlUp users can add your action to their own organization.

**To share an action:**

1. In the **Action Library** window, go to the **Organization** tab.
2. Select the action you want to share using the checkbox.
3. Click **Share**.
4. Enter information about your action, and submit it to be shared.
