Group Manager is where you define the permissions of a security group, which is a group that is assigned to each user. Every borrower and user needs to belong to a security group and by default, anyone that is added is placed into the Guest security group, which is a built-in group that has a limited set of permissions. The Guest user group has permissions such as the ability to make reservations, write reviews and renew books but does not have access to any features within the Management console.

 

Using Group Manager, it is possible to setup additional security groups that can used to assign elevated permissions to a Borrower. Typically, in a School Library this is useful when you would like to create a pupil helper account, used for the purpose of issuing/returning but preventing this user from accessing Management and other areas.

 

For information about creating a user account, see the topic Creating a New Security Group.
