Destiny Site Administration: Site-Level Administrators

Site-level Administrators play an important part in site administration, managing a school or other district site in Destiny.

An Administrator's specific responsibilities depend on access levels set up by the Destiny Administrator during implementation.

Administrators often: 

• Manage departments (Resource Manager)
• Manage homerooms
• Manage vendors (Library Manager)
• Manage sublocations (Library Manager)
• Manage material locations (Resource Manager)
• Add a principal, departments, department heads (Resource Manager), and locations
• Select site catalog options
• Select site circulation options
• Set up receipt and refund notifications
• Review or edit site information

If Administrators manage access levels and permissions for a site, they might manage permissions for the site's Library Administrator and/or Resource Administrator.

Note: Some districts may have an Administrator with all Product Access Level permissions to manage their patrons. Follett recommends having a Library Administrator and/or Resource Administrator assume this role and be given only the Product Access Level permissions they need.

Understanding the typical structure of key roles in Destiny helps you know who can do what.
