Safeguarding Your Data

Library Staff Accounts
Integrated 3rd Party Services

Library staff accounts and authentication accounts for 3rd party services permit access to Evergreen and all the data for your library contained within.

Library Staff Accounts

Co-op Support strongly recommends:

  • encouraging all staff to update their passwords on a regular basis and ensure passwords are kept private.
  • checking that staff have the appropriate level of permissions for the tasks they need to perform and updating their main (profile) permission group if they have a higher level of access than needed.
  • tracking who has additional access to reports and the acquisitions module.
  • reviewing your staff accounts to ensure only staff currently working at the library have access to the library system.

Note

If you see staff accounts with the name Sitka please leave them be. These are troubleshooting accounts used by Co-op Support.

Integrated 3rd Party Services

If you cancel a subscription or retire a piece of hardware, like a self check, that authenticates through Evergreen please let Co-op Support know as soon as possible. This enables us to remove accounts associated with the service so that your patrons' information is no longer available to the vendor.
