Permissions

FOLIO community documentation for the Circulation log app includes the permissions required to interact with the app, and that determine what you can or cannot do within the app.

You can assign permissions to users in the Users app. If none of these permissions are assigned to a user, then they will be unable to see the Circulation log app or any related information.
