Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] All permission groups deleted?

I think we figured out what was going on. The "Staff" group permissions folder had it's parent record changed to itself. We changed the parent back to what it was, based on our backup, and the permissions groups came back. Patrick+ Asbury Seminary On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 5:02 PM, Jason Etheridge

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] All permission groups deleted?

There aren't visibility flags for hiding permission groups in the staff client, no. I can imagine something like a major hardware failure corrupting data and perhaps doing this though it's unlikely. With that said unlikely things happen routinely somewhere with all the servers running in the

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] All permission groups deleted?

All, Yes. Something very badly and horrible has gone wrong.Right now in our staff client, the Staff group is gone. To top that off, now the system is down and no one can get in. People with more knowledge than I have are working on it and we are hopeful it will be back to normal

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] All permission groups deleted?

Hi Jennifer, With the caveat of anything is theoretically possible if an admin has done bizarre thing x, y and z Generally Patrons will be a child of Users and it would be impossible to delete Users and Patrons still exist. It's kind of like yanking the foundation out from under a building

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] All permission groups deleted?

Thomas, Very interesting! And completely confusing. What I think you are saying is that it is possible to delete the GROUP, but meanwhile all the actual permissions are still in the system? When evergreen was started, it has two main permission groups.Patrons and Users.Our

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Can I run the staff client on the same system as the server?

Absolutely. Just point the staff client to the localhost. I do this with debian images regularly in virtual box if I'm running the staff client in my host os doing something else. On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 2:49 PM, Jim Lynch wrote: > We're just getting started and I

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Can I run the staff client on the same system as the server?

We're just getting started and I want to let some of the folks become familiar with things. Our network isn't yet functional so I have a Ubuntu laptop I was thinking about putting both the server and a client on to let them test. Is that a reasonable thing to do? Thanks, Jim.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self Check

Also, because Evergreen’s implementation is so lightweight, you require only the most rudimentary of hardware to get started. For instance, our current selfcheck machine is an old thin client device with a usb stick plugged in for a hard drive, running Debian, LXDE and iceweasel for the

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] All permission groups deleted?

All the permission assignments are in the database, not the file system. Taking a very quick look it appears that deleting a group assigned directly to a user should fail due to key constraints, but deleting a group only assigned to users as a secondary mapping (permission.usr_grp_map table)

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] All permission groups deleted?

All – So, what happens when all the staff permission groups are deleted?How is it that people can still login to the system? Staff with “cataloger” permissions and “circ” permissions and so forth? What happens when they try to login with that account? Does evergreen ‘assign’ them

There is! One of the branches in PINES has been using it for about a year, and several others are currently considering switching to it. I believe they are setting it up in kiosk mode on a desktop (with keyboard, mouse, barcode scanner, receipt printer) on or near the circ desk so that it can be

Hi Stuart, Evergreen does include a basic self-check component: http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.10/_self_checkout.html It can also talk to more sophisticated self-check products via SIP2. For example, some members of our consortium use Bibliotheca/3M's products. On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 6:30 AM,
