This task gives general steps for setting up any circulation privilege. You specify the default and exceptions for each privilege based on your library’s policies. You can refer to this section for basic information when you set up a specific circulation privilege.

If you edit an existing privilege, make sure you understand any fields that you change. Any changes that you make affect the way Horizon runs Circulation.
