In Evergreen library staff accounts are the same as patron accounts with two differences.
When a library staff account expires the staff member is not able to log into the Evergreen staff client until their account has been renewed.
There are three kinds of library staff accounts:
Staff Specific Accounts
Libraries are encouraged to use Staff Specific Accounts for all accounts that need access to the reporter in Evergreen to avoid the need to re-set up recurring reports.
Staff/Personal Accounts
Support recommends using Staff Specific Accounts instead of Staff/Personal Accounts. It is easier for libraries to manage accounts when staff and personal accounts are kept separate.

The table in Staff Account Permission Groups shows what staff functions different permission groups can perform.
This example shows public library staff permission groups. A similar list of groups is available for each library type.
