Tip for January 14, 2019
Has an administrator or principal asked for access to Alexandria to run reports or view patron data? What if you want to give them access, but you don’t want them to mess anything up?
Easy. It’s all in Security.
Go to Patron Management and open a patron record, then look at the Security Group underneath their picture. The group to which this patron is assigned dictates what they can and cannot do in Alexandria. Most of your users will be in a Patron group that allows access to Researcher but not Librarian. Others might be student aides or librarians with various security settings.
For an example, let's create a security group that is limited to View, or read-only, access.
For example, you could create a security group for Read Only.
That's it!
