Actually, I don't quite understand, what the libraries are used for. Would you give me a short explanation?

What I understand is, so far, that they provide crud functionality on data using the UI when logged in as an admin.
But is it possible to just use, for example, adding data and disable the other features? So that users with different status can do different operations on the data presented in the UI?
