Define Access Levels (District)

Select Setup > District Options

If you are a Destiny Administrator, you can manage Access Levels for your district in either of two ways:

• You can configure the default Access Levels, which apply to new sites as you create them.
  Existing sites retain their existing configurations.
  Site Administrators can assign Access Levels to patrons, assign or remove any permissions that they themselves have, to other Access Levels, and add and delete Access Levels.
  In addition, you can edit the Administrator Access Level, and push these settings to existing sites at any time.
• You can define and manage the default Access Levels for all sites, existing and future.
  Site Administrators can assign Access Levels to patrons, and view the permissions for each Access Level, but cannot assign or remove any permissions, or add or delete an Access Level.
  Destiny® deletes any site-created Access Levels and reassigns patrons of those Access Levels to the default Access Level.

notes These settings do not apply to Media Manager sites. The above options do not apply to the District Warehouse Access Levels.

Set up initial Access Levels

1. Log in as the Destiny Administrator in a district.
2. If you are not on the Update District Options page, then follow the steps in the blue title bar.
3. In the Access Levels section, click Edit.
4. Select the first option, Setup initial access levels for users here.

The access levels will be applied to new sites. Existing sites will continue to use the Access Levels set up in Back Office. However, you can update the site settings by selecting the access levels and clicking Push to update the entire district, a select group of sites, or a single site.

5. Next to each Access Level, click the edit icon.
   You can also add a new or delete an existing Access Level by selecting or deselecting the checkbox next to it.
   To define resource groups to a given access level, go to: Resource Groups (Resource Manager).
   
6. Select or deselect the permissions on each tab, and then click Save.
   Note that a change in the inactivity timeout is not included in a push.
7. If you are going to push the Administrator Access Level , click Push.
8. In the message that appears, select the district, a site type, or an individual site for the push, and click Yes.

The Push Access Levels job summary lists the sites updated and the permissions changed.

Define all Access Levels
