Setting passwords allows you to restrict access to particular modules depending on the level of password/s chosen.

It is not necessary to set a password at all at some schools whilst at others you may need to set all 3 levels of password.

Level 1 (Text Hire Administrator)

• This is the highest level and will allow you access all modules once you have entered the password once. Used to keep non text hire staff out of special functions of the  database. 

Level 2 (Text Hire Staff)

• This level will allow access to all of the functions required for the day to day running of the Text Hire.  At this level you are restricted to only those functions in Utilities necessary for daily tasks eg backups and reports all other functions are protected and the TTSuite menu requires a password to be loaded.

Level 3 (Circulation Only)

• Setting a level 3 will only allow the user to access the Lending and Returning functions (and the enquiry module for looking up resources.

Note:

• If you wanted to set a level 3 password you must set levels 1 to 2, similarily you can only set a level 2 password after you have set a level 1
• Where a level 3 is required but a level 2 is not necessary you can set the level 1 and level 2 password as the same word to avoid confusion
• Make your passwords easy to remember AND easy to type!  Passwords can be very annoying if they are poorly chosen!
