Setting Patron Permissions

Patron permissions are used to define the rights of staff members when in the intranet/staff client.

• To alter patron permissions, click on Patrons on the main menu at the top of the screen.
• Search or browse for the patron you'd like to edit
• Click on the patron's name from the results
• Click the 'More' button on the top right of the patron profile and choose 'Set Permissions'
• Choose the permissions you'd like this patron to have
• You can pick as many permissions as you'd like for each staff member
  • TIP: If a staff member is set to 'superlibrarian' they have access to all functions and do not need any other permissions checked
• To give staff members more granular permissions, you can turn on the GranularPermissions system preference
  • Get there: More > Administration > General preferences > Admin > GranularPermissions
  • If this setting is on the permissions menu will offer more granual permissions
  • This allows staff members access to specific tools
    • TIP: If this preference is turned OFF after being ON, the system reverts to the original behavior, although the specific permissions are retained.  This means if a staff member has been given granular permissions they will retain those even if this is turned OFF
