In Alma, user roles can be grouped into custom "profiles." The four profiles OLS has set up are based on library functional area:
- Acquisitions
- Cataloging
- E-Resources
- Fulfillment
As a manager, you may request Alma accounts for your library's staff using the form below. If you are only adding a single permission, please list it in the special instructions box.
Every library has set up both a senior and junior level of privileges for a given functional area. Individual libraries have made adjustments for what roles (aka privileges) are included in each level.
To see which roles grouped in each profile (for your library), please see the roles as assigned to existing staff. Your staff member's "permissions level" may limit or allow, as the case may be, access to classified information (e.g., budgets, patrons' PII, etc.) by certain classes of workers (e.g., student workers).
If you are asking for Alma Analytics permissions then one of the four functional areas must also be selected. This will allow Analytics staff to compare/verify reporting with your library's actual data as needed.
If you are asking for API access, also please briefly describe your custom software project in the instruction box, or in a work order. Please make sure your campus already has an Alma API Key.
If you are asking for Administrative access, please first set up an Alma staff account. You will need that account to verify your Admin changes. After getting your staff account, separately submit your Alma certification credentials in a ticket to OLS.
