[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Library Settings

[Maggie Buckholz]

Hi Tim

 

In our small consortium of three libraries, we have set various password
levels.  Circulation staff have one password limited to circulation
transactions and changing shelving locations.  Catalogers can edit bib
records.  And we set up three branch-level administrative passwords
which can change anything.  The Admin password is limited to three
people (one for each library) who understand the system policies and
will assure compliance.  If something needs changed, like reshelving
period, then that change needs to go through the branch administrator.
Limiting access by password seems to work for us.  I hope this helps!

I was wondering what others are doing in giving their member libraries
permissions to change Library Settings.  For instance, we can see that
it would be good for a library to control their own reshelving period
but we don't necessarily want them to be able to change what fields are
required in the patron record because there is system wide policies on
this.
