The permissions assigned depend on the person’s work needs. Superlibrarian is the system
administrator permission; you should not assign it to logins intended for daily library work.
Instead, review what that person will need to do, and assign permissions accordingly. For
example, a person who works at the Circulation Desk will need most of the permissions in the
circulate group, but you may not want that person to be able to override certain checkout blocks
such as “Override circ block due to excessive patron fines.” Leave those permissions unchecked.
Someone working at the Circulation Desk will probably also need at least the “Remaining
Borrowers Permissions” setting (to be able to search and display patron records), but you may
not want to allow other patron actions such as batch edit/delete. The library staff person may
also need “Update borrower charges” to be able to take payment for fines. However, this person
would not be given permissions in other areas such as Acquisitions, Tools, or Cataloging.
Set the permissions you think this staff role will need, then click the Set Flags button to save
them. Then log in as that user and test it. Make sure the login can do all the actions needed, but
cannot do anything that should be blocked. When that person logs in, the initial menu will be
much more limited than that of someone with full administrator permissions.
