There are three settings in your Security preferences that affect reviews and Reviews Management.

Security > Tools > Reviews

The first is the Reviews dropdown menu in the Tools security tab. These settings determine how individuals belonging to a particular security group are allowed to interact with Reviews Management.

• No Access. If this setting is selected, nobody belonging to this security group has access to Reviews Management; the Reviews selection will be disabled in the Management section of Tools.
• View. Those with this security setting are only allowed to view submitted reviews in the Reviews Management window.
• Edit. Those with this security setting are only allowed to view and edit reviews in the Reviews Management window.
• Remove. Those with this security setting are allowed to view, edit, and remove reviews in the Reviews Management window.

Security > Account > Reviews

Depending upon your security group settings, you can determine if newly submitted reviews require approval or are always automatically approved by default.

• Add - Requires Approval. The default status for new reviews is Needs Approval; when the status is changed, the name of the operator who approved the review and a date and time stamp are added to the record.
• Add - Always Approved. The default status for all new reviews will be Approved and the Reviewed On/By fields in the Reviews interface window are left blank.

Security > Account > Show Reviewer As

The For Reviews, Show Reviewer As dropdown menu found in the Researcher security tab determines how much of the reviewer's name is revealed to users of a particular security group. For example, if you only want the initials of a reviewer's name to appear for those belonging to the Patron security group, select First Name Initial, Last Name Initial from the drop-down menu.

• Anonymous. Not even a single character of the reviewer's name will appear on reviews shown in Researcher modules.
• Initials. Reviews in Researcher modules will only display the reviewer's initials. For example, a reviewer with the name of “Mark Arias” would appear as “MA”.
• Full First Name and Last Name Initial. Reviews in Researcher modules will display the reviewer's first name and last name initial only. For example, a reviewer with the name of “Mark Arias” would appear as “Mark A”.
• Full First Name and Full Last Name. Reviews in Researcher modules will reveal the reviewer's full name. For example, “Mark Arias” will be shown simply as “Mark Arais”.
