Description Abd al-Qader al-Awwad 2018-03-01 13:25:49 UTC
can you please add a disable option for staff login, to disable login without changing anything else, and keep all other option available I need only to stop staff from login when they transferred to other department.

Staff logins need the catalogue permission to be able to log in to the staff client. If you remove this permission they will not be able to log in. Could that be enough to solve your use case?

I do try to remove permission for staff, the user still able to login, is there away to disable user login but keep them able to loan books and other patron options, I just want to disable login to staff client only, thank you for your answer.

Hi Abd, Magnuse is right, removing the catalogue permission should keep the staff users out of the staff client. Maybe try to log out and log in again after removing them?
