USER ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 2. MANAGING USERS
Setting the Default User Password
You can pre-configure the User Record with a default user password to be applied to all new user records (patron and staff) that are created in the Circulation or User Administration modules. Additionally, the system supports the use of two specialized default passwords, “USERPASS” and “STAFFPASS.” When a user assigned the password “USERPASS” or “STAFFPASS” logs into the system for the first time, the Permanent Password screen displays. The user must provide a permanent password to complete the login process.
NOTE: It is recommended that only the password “USERPASS” or “STAFFPASS” be used as the default user password. Use of any other password will not trigger display of the Permanent Password screen.
To set the default user password:
-
From the User Admin menu, select Default User Password.
- The Set Default User Password screen displays.
Set Default User Password Screen
- The Default User Password text box shows the current default user password.
- Enter the desired default user password in the Default User Password text box.
- Click the Submit button to save your changes.
The specified Default User Password will be applied to all new user records (patron and staff) that are created in the Circulation or User Administration modules.
NOTE: The default user password will display in the Password and Confirm Password or PIN fields of the Add a User Account screen (see Adding a User for details) as a series of asterisks.
