Open Room uses two different functions to create login profiles and grant user privileges. It is a little complicated but has a purpose.
IP logins
- This is the function you use to create an Auto login.
- Login is tied to the IP address of the staff computer connected to the library network with a LAN cable.
- An IP login will allow an individual computer to be permanently signed in using its IP address (auto login).
- ONID username must be used even though the login is tied to the IP and not the ONID account.
- The exception to this is the computers up at Circulation. I don't know why because they were set up before I started.
- You cannot login on a wireless device if you only have privileges set up in the IP Logins function. You need to have a role as well.
- There are two levels of privilege
- Staff
- This allows you to set immediate reservations and cancel reservations.
- You cannot create advanced reservations for others in this setting.
- You cannot access the Admin panel
- All 2 computers at the Circulation desk are set to "staff"
- Admin
- Admin allows you to access the Admin panel
- You can create advanced reservations for others
- Circulation staff have Admin privileges on their computers.
- The staff computer station at Circulation also has Admin privileges
- Staff
Roles
- This allows staff to access their Open Room privileges on a wireless device
- Privilege is tied to the ONID account so you must use the ONID username when assigning privilege.
- Same as the IP logins function, there are staff and admin privileges. They function exactly the same.
