Cataloging and administrative staff login accounts shall be assigned to individual users, who are responsible for activities using that login to ensure compliance with all consortium policies. NC Cardinal libraries can retain generic circulation staff login accounts. Generic accounts currently in use for reporting will be transferred to a “reports only” permission group.
Each library system shall have a local administrator who is responsible for maintaining staff user login accounts in consultation with their library director and State Library NC Cardinal staff, creating accounts for new library staff and updating, merging, and deleting staff login accounts as necessary to keep employee access current and in compliance with all NC Cardinal policies.
Staff user login accounts are to be used only for access to Evergreen and work related activities, not to circulate materials or any other personal use.

Staff Login Account Password Requirements
In an effort to protect access to patron data, NC Cardinal is implementing a standard for password strength. Cardinal staff login accounts users will be required to change their password every 90 days. Staff will be emailed two weeks before accounts expire. If passwords are not changed by the end of the 90 days, a notification message will appear in the staff client upon login to indicate the account has an old password and a link to where it may be changed. This message will only disappear when the password is updated. Staff accounts will need to have an email address listed on the account for notification purposes.
(At a later phase of the project we will implement the following password strength requirements)
