1This permission is optional. For more information, see Optional Circulation Permissions, below.

Using Permission 191

Users with this permission can only edit or create bibliographic records and order records with a STATUS of '1'. Note that permission 132 overrides this permission. Innovative strongly recommends that you do not give any other permission to a user with permission 191. This permission is intended for library staff who need very limited database update privileges only (for example, to create or edit selection lists). If a staff user with permission 191 requires other basic permissions, Innovative recommends creating a second login with those permissions for the user.

Optional Circulation Permissions

Note that by default, these permissions do not appear in the Admin App list of available permissions. To enable these optional permissions, contact Innovative.

Your library can limit specific Circulation functions available to users via the following optional permissions:

For example, if your library has contacted Innovative to enable the Optional Circulation Permissions feature for Creating the Homebound Patron Report, you must be assigned permission 1060 (Create Homebound Patron Report) to access the Create Homebound Patron Report function in the SDA. If the Optional Circulation Permissions feature is not enabled, all users are able to access the Create Homebound Patron Report function in the SDA and permission 1060 (Create Homebound Patron Report) does not appear in the Admin App list of available permissions.
