1.3. System Login Access Managers

Last Updated 05/15/2025

Introduction to SLAMs

In April 2017, the NC Cardinal Governance Committee passed the Staff Login Accounts and Permission Policies, which states (in part):

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.

This role, the System Login Access Manager, or SLAM, is responsible for creating and maintaining login accounts that staff use to access the Evergreen staff client. They are the main point of contact in their library for account issues and questions.

Who can be a System Login Access Manager?

Some library directors choose to take on the role of System Login Access Manager, or they may designate that role to one or more members of their staff.

What are the responsibilities of a System Login Access Manager?

SLAMs are responsible for monitoring and maintaining staff login access accounts to ensure that current staff at their library system have appropriate levels of access to the Evergreen database to perform their work assignments. System Login Access Managers update staff accounts to grant access by setting up accounts for new staff and remove staff access to the Evergreen database (and patron information) of anyone who is no longer employed by their library system to maintain database security following the instructions in this chapter of the Administration Manual for Libraries.
