Staff Privileges Interface Changes
Tabs
•The privileges have been grouped into tabs, with each tab listing
actions that are relevant to a single module
•Another Common tab lists actions that are not module specific
•Within each tab the actions are arranged in groups so that each group
contains actions that make up a specific workflow, such as Ordering or
Loan Management
•The group may be expanded to display all the actions of which it
consists
•In addition, each group’s All Unspecified Subfunctions action
enables implicitly allowing all of the group’s actions that have not been
explicitly denied

Staff Privileges Interface Changes
Managing users privileges
Managing the user’s privileges may be done either at the group level
by selecting the group title and allowing or denying the entire group or
at the specific action level by selecting a specific action and allowing
or denying it.
A group’s status is marked by an icon, and may be one of the following:
•Fully allowed – All of the group’s actions are allowed
•Fully denied – All of the group’s actions are denied
•Not specified – None of the groups’ actions have been allowed
nor have any actions been denied
•Partially allowed – The groups’ actions have more than one of
the above statuses
•The Summary button displays only those actions for which an
explicit permission, either Allowed or Denied, has been specified

Access to Non-Standard Services
Non standard batch jobs are offline batch jobs that have not been
supplied by Ex Libris but have been written by ALEPH users for their
own special needs (Custom Reports)
Following the changes in the Staff Permissions, managing staff
privileges for non standard batch jobs has changed.
There will be options for allowing or denying access to these services.

Miscellaneous changes
Staff User Department
The Department field of the Staff User form is now filled in with values
from a drop down list. The drop down list is controlled by the

It is possible to receive a warning when the user that is logging in has
an upcoming expiration date. Setting this warning is done by configuring
the tab100 PW-EXPIRYWARNING variable.
Patron Circulation Summary
A new permission has been added to user_function.eng, to control the
new Circulation Summary node that is found in the Patron Tab of the
Circulation module.
