Add consortium users

You can add consortium-level users. After you add a user, LX Starter sends an email that contains a link and asks the user to create a password. The link expires after 12 hours.

To add a user to a member library, add the user from the library site.

For Discover and LX Admin customers: When adding a new user for a member library, make sure to always create the user in LX Admin first. This ensures that the user is properly synchronized and can be managed across both the LX Admin and Discover user tables. If the user is created in Discover first, synchronization will not occur. After the user has been created through LX Admin, you can edit their details and assign the necessary permissions in Discover.
