1.4. Change Operator

Last Updated 05/16/2023


How to Change Operators

If you need a higher level permission group to perform an action - such as an override - temporary credentials can be added by another staff member. Or, if a staff member with higher permissions will remain on the computer for an extended period of time and needs to perform relevant activities (e.g. a cataloger is covering the desk at lunch and will be cataloging items) staff can make the operator change persistent.

Click on the little grey "hamburger" menu button to the right of your user name in the top-right corner of the window. Select Change Operator. A popup box will appear. 

Change Operator is the first option listed in the grey "hamburger" dropdown menu

Enter the username and password for the staff member with higher permissions. Select Temporary for a temporary override or Persistent if the new user needs to remain logged in for more than a short period of time.

If you need to revert back to the original staff account, go to the menu and choose Restore Operator.
