Main Staff Permission Groups
Secondary Permission Groups

Every library staff account must have a staff permission group assigned as their Main (Profile) Permission Group in order to access the staff client. Staff can also have secondary permission groups assigned to give them access to special features.

Library directors and administrators should consider what functions each staff member needs access to and assign the appropriate permission group.

Main Staff Permission Groups

This is a general outline of the available staff permission groups and the permissions included.

To view a detailed list of permissions for a particular account, go to Administration → User Permission Editor in the staff client.
