[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Problem with Cataloger Permissions

[Duimovich, George]

Hello Dimitri,
 
One other thing to pursue: I believe I also saw that error when we set
up a new user, confirmed permissions for VIEW_ORG_SETTINGS, **but** then
tried to test the new password from a staff client workstation different
from that used by the new user.  And that different workstation belonged
to a staff person with different Org Unit settings/ permissions.
 
I think this happened to me even logged in as the admin user. I would
test the new password with Admin > Operation Change: new  but I would
still get that error. Same with a colleague who set up a staff account
recently (his working location unit didn't match that of the new user).
But when new user logged in at his workstation (after we explicitly set
working location), he had no problem.  
 
I didn't try it, but I would then expect my error to disappear if I
reset my org unit to match that of the new user when testing with
"Operator Change: new". 
 
Otherwise, not sure what else to try.

Hi George!

Thank you for your answer!
I'm doing everything as you described, but unfortunately no change.
What can be explained to this strange behavior?

with best regards,

	For us, this error usually comes down to setting the Org_Level
unit permissions for that individual user.

then make sure the appropriate Working Location(s) is checked off.
	 
	While you are in that screen, you can double check that the
group permissions for that particular user defaults to include
"VIEW_ORG_SETTINGS" as checked for the right Org Unit level.
	 
	I don't know for certain if this has changed from previous
versions of EG, but for some reason I thought that the permissions
behaviour used to function differently for us in 1.4 (?); namely, the
Working Location may have already been checked off in the User
Permission Editor according to your default "Home Library" in the Patron
Editor's "Contact Info" tab (then you wouldn't get this error for newly
registered staff).  Then in the 1.6 series, one had to explicity set the
Working Location in the User Permission Editor. But my recollection may
be incorrect, and perhaps it's better to explicitly set these
permissions for security reasons, etc.

	Hi All,

	We have Evergreen 1.6.0.1 and there is some strange error. I'm
trying to create new user with cataloger's permissions. After that I'm
trying to access Evergreen with Staff Client, but getting error:
	
	
	Permission Denied: VIEW_ORG_SETTINGS (See screenshot)
	
	
	There is another error windows also:
	
	
	

		If you encounter this alert, please inform your IT/ILS
helpdesk staff or your friendly Evergreen developers.

		Mon Sep 27 2010 17:19:07 GMT+0400 (Azerbaijan Standard
Time)

		The action involved likely failed due to insufficient
permissions.  However, this part of the software needs to be updated to
better understand permission messages from the server, so please let us
know about it.

		PERM_FAILURE

		Permission Denied

	
	
	I added this permission in permissions group for catalogers, but
without any effect.

	Please help me.

	with best regards,
	Dimitri Gogelia
