Library staff can only use Cataloging processes if you grant them access rights through Horizon Security. In addition, you can control how much access catalogers have to MARC records. (For example, you can limit a cataloger to only biographical records. You can even limit access to specific records, tags, or subfields.) You can also give catalogers CRUDO rights—the rights to create, read, update, or delete records or subfields, or the right to own a record.
Horizon uses this order of precedence to determine whether or not a user has access to processes and data:
1. | Privilege |
2. | Permission |
3. | Ownership |
4. | CRUDO |
First, Horizon determines whether the user has rights to the privilege. Second, Horizon may limit the privilege based on permission. Third, for processes that use record ownership, Horizon determines whether the user has rights for the current record. Finally, Horizon may further restrict rights for editing the record based on CRUDO settings. You set up privileges, permissions, and CRUDO settings when you set up roles and passkeys.
You need a thorough understanding of these things before you set up security for Cataloging. (For more information and instructions, see “Securing Horizon” in the “Security and Preferences” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
