Access Management

Security in ABCD is controlled by a relationship between Operators (who logs in) and Profiles (what they can do). This section guides administrators through configuring secure access to the system.

Core Concepts​

1. Profiles (Authorization)​

Profiles act as templates for permissions. Instead of assigning rights to each user individually, you define a role (e.g., "Cataloger", "Loan Officer") and assign users to that role.

2. Operators (Authentication)​

Operators are the actual user accounts. Each operator must be assigned to a valid profile to access the system.

  • Manage Operators: Learn how to create users, reset passwords, and restrict access by library branch.

:::tip Security Best Practice Avoid using the generic adm or abcd accounts for daily work. Create individual accounts for every staff member to ensure actions can be traced back to a specific person in the system logs. :::
