How to add additional privileges to user_function.lng (originally SI ) Presenter: Yoel Kortick

additional privileges to user_function.lng 2 Introduction It may occur that staff user A edits the privileges of staff user B via the “ staff privileges ” and does not see a particular service listed as an option to “ permit ” or “ deny ”. As a result, staff user B may be allowed to run a service and there is no way for staff user A to deny the privilege (except by denying all sub functions of the library, which is not usually desired).

After adding the privilege to the file $alephe_tab/user_function.lng it will be listed as an option in the staff privileges, and staff user A will be able to deny (or permit) staff user B to run the service.

GILLIGAN will not be able to find them in the list of privileges: 1.Circulation Module > Services > Requests > Campus Hold Requests Router - Cleanup (cir-240) 2.Cataloging Module > Services > Build Indexes to the Catalog > Trigger Z07 Records (manage-103)

GILLIGAN will now try to deny her cir-240 in USM50 and manage-103 in USM GILLIGAN is logged in 2. GILLIGAN chooses Staff Privileges

additional privileges to user_function.lng 7 Discovering that the privilege does not exist GILLIGAN selects Ex Libris Demo Libraries (USM50) in order to deny the service “ Campus Hold Requests Router - Cleanup (cir-240) ”

additional privileges to user_function.lng 8 Discovering that the privilege does not exist GILLIGAN chooses the services-circulation sub menu and can not find cir-240. GILLIGAN also can not find cir-240 from the find button

additional privileges to user_function.lng 10 Discovering that the privilege does not exist GILLIGAN chooses the services - manage sub menu and can not find manage-103. GILLIGAN also can not find manage-103 from the find button

additional privileges to user_function.lng 11 Adding new privileges We will now add these two lacking services: 1.Circulation Module > Services > Requests > Campus Hold Requests Router - Cleanup (cir-240) 2.Cataloging Module > Services > Build Indexes to the Catalog > Trigger Z07 Records (manage-103) To the file $alephe_tab/user_function.eng so that they will appear in the list of privileges and GILLIGAN can then deny them from MARYANNE

additional privileges to user_function.lng 12 Adding new privileges Here is the file on the server: We will edit the file via the Tables Navigator of the ALEPHADM module of the GUI il-aleph02-a18(1) >>cd $alephe_tab il-aleph02-a18(1) >>ls -lrt user_function.eng -rw-rw-r-- 1 aleph exlibris Dec 4 10:00 user_function.eng

additional privileges to user_function.lng 13 Adding new privileges Within the ALEPHADM module we will choose “ Tables Navigator ”

additional privileges to user_function.lng 14 Adding new privileges Under “ ALEPH > tab ” we choose the file “ user_function.eng ”

additional privileges to user_function.lng 15 Adding new privileges We will now add the service “ Circulation Module > Services > Requests > Campus Hold Requests Router - Cleanup (cir- 240) ”. It is easiest to take an existing service from the file and add a new line above or underneath the existing line. In the new line we will add the new service.
