[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Changing creator on records?

[Walz, Jennifer]

All -

Sorry.  I forgot to say what errors we were getting.    Mostly it was the view_user error, but also other user related errors (which frankly is a bit weird, since we are trying to edit an item record!).     Problem was that we HAD made those changes in the user permission editor.     I had assigned to our cataloger and acquisitions clerk all the view rights that seemed appropriate - including view_user.     The only other difference between records that did not generate an error and those that did were the creator.     Am I correct in assuming then, any records created by an admin need to have permissions for the user / viewer set at the SYSTEM level?

  Still, the fact remains that we might at some time in the future like to make changes to the creator of records.   Good to know that it is possible and how to get it done.

Thanks!

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

I'm fairly sure this can be done in the database, but I'm curious about the errors that are popping up. We have a number of records in our system created under the admin user, particularly those that were migrated. These shouldn't be causing an error. What does your error message say?

We have encountered error messages popping up because records were added to the system under the admin login.   Is there a way to find those records and also to CHANGE the creator to a cataloger username?     I can't see a way to do it on the record within the staff client.  Is there a way at the database level?

Thanks!
