If your library is using the SirsiDynix Symphony accountability module, you can restrict accessibility to assets by a number of different accountability options.
When you run SirsiDynix Portfolio with the Symphony Accountability module enabled, the Searching interface will not provide search suggestions to patrons. None of the changes you make in Manage Search Suggestions go into effect until you remove accountability for the system.
The accountability module includes the following options, each with either a preconfigured or customizable set of settings:
| • | Clearance |
| • | Need to know |
| • | Restrictions |
| • | Citizenship |
You must administer the accountability policies from within SirsiDynix Symphony. You cannot create or edit them within SirsiDynix Portfolio . You can use all or a select subset of these accountability options.
If your library does not have the SirsiDynix Symphony accountability module, your assets will be set to the Extended Public access level, meaning that anyone who has access to your system will be able to view all assets. Accountability settings will not be accessible for assets and folders.
Security settings and accountability limit accessibility to assets in both the Admin console and Searching interfaces. In the Admin console, access is restricted by folder and asset security (for more information, see Accountability in assets and Accountability in folders. In the Searching interface and in rooms, assets security is handled individually. If an asset has accountability or security properties enabled, SirsiDynix Portfolio requires the patron to log in before opening the asset. This is true for all secured assets, including those accessed through a copied or emailed link.
