Resource Groups (Resource Manager)

Watch Video(s) Using Resource Groups

Resource groups let you manage what resources a user can view, search, add, report and inventory. This gives users access to only the resource templates they need, saving them time.

An access level can have multiple resource groups. And each resource group can have specific permissions assigned.

For example, your district has a Textbooks and a 1:1 Devices resource group. The textbook administrator access level has all permissions for the Textbooks resource group and permissions to circulate 1:1 devices. The textbook administrator also needs to search for all resources.

Create Resource Groups

Before you configure access levels, you should create the resource groups:

1. Log in as the Destiny Administrator or a district user with the right to Manage Resources for the District.
2. Do one of the following:
   

   If you want to...	Then...
   Set up resource groups as a Destiny Admin	Go to Setup > District Options. Next to Access Levels, click Edit. Next to an access level, click . On the Resources sub-tab, click Setup.
   Set up resource groups as a district user with the Manage Resources for the District permission	Select District, and go to Catalog > Add Resource > Edit Templates. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and select Template Groups.

3. Note: The All Resources group is the default and provides access to the entire resource tree. It cannot be edited or deleted.

4. In the Resource Group field, type a name for the resource group.
5. In the resource tree, use the checkboxes to select the resources patrons can view. To select an entire group, click Select All; to deselect an entire group, click Clear All.
