Staff User Permissions Groups

Evergreen permissions determine what functions can be performed by different staff members. For convenience and consistency, the permissions are organized into groups, which are assigned when staff users are added or their role in the library changes. There are some extra permissions that can be assigned to specific users, and we can customize permissions as needed.

Most permissions are tied to the user’s library — for example, a staff member from one library cannot edit or delete another library’s items
