Because the libraries that I’ve needed to support had funds associated with different branches that might show up in the same PO, this is my best practice.  I know when we were first getting our largest acq library set up, we had to make sure their acq admins had system permissions (which would include all branches in the user permission editor <- comment added for anyone reading who doesn’t know this yet (not Tiffany)).  It would be AMAZING to be able to select a system for those who work across all branches…or some other scoped sets like consortium or library groups).

Thinking aloud, the current workstation for a staff login sets the default selected library in most OU selectors in the staff interface, but it doesn't change the set of libraries / working locations that the user has permissions for. In the context of somebody doing acquisitions for multiple systems, it occurs to me that it might be handy to have a mode where the user can voluntarily specify that they only want to see stuff related to their workstation's OU (or the system that the OU belongs to) as a way of reducing confusion when they're explicitly working for System A (as opposed to the other systems that they may do acq for).

Regards,

Galen
