Administering User Permissions
The Sierra Administration Web application's Permissions Admin function controls the set of Sierra function permissions for a user.
Editing Permissions
To edit permissions:
- Select Authorizations and Authentication Admin from the Admin App menu.
- Click Users.
- Click + to the left of a listed user to expose the EDIT button.
- Click EDIT.
- Click Permissions. The system presents two parallel lists, one showing permissions that the user has been assigned and the other showing permissions that the user has not been assigned.
- Modify the permission as follows:
- To add a permission, use the mouse to drag the user from the Available permissions list to the Assigned permissions list.
- To remove a permission, use the mouse to drag the user from the Assigned permissions list to the Available permissions list.
You can view a subset of the permissions on either list by typing a pattern of three or more characters into the Filter list by typing here box.
- Click SAVE.
Importing User Parameters

Exporting a List of Permissions
You can export a list of permissions assigned to users as a comma-separated values (.csv) file. You can export the permissions assigned to a single user or the permissions for multiple users in a single file. This file can help library administrators manage the permissions assigned to library staff.
