Modifying ILL Permissions
When you add a new user and assign ILL Staff permissions (see Adding a User for details), or when you click the ILL Permissions link on the Edit User Accounts screen (see Editing User Accounts for details), the ILL Permissions screen displays. The ILL Permissions screen shows the ILL permissions currently granted to the user. You may grant or deny additional permissions as desired.
