An administrator can enable the Template library by adding the following to kibana.yml, then restarting Kibana:

uiSettings.globalOverrides:
  workflowsManagement:library:enabled: true
		

Have an administrator run the following request from Dev Tools to enable the Template library. This is a global setting, so it applies to your entire project, in all spaces:

POST kbn:/internal/kibana/global_settings
{
  "changes": {
    "workflowsManagement:library:enabled": true
  }
