[Bug 7880] New: allow the same OPAC login for different users at different branches
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7880 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 7880 CC: dpavlin@rot13.org Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Summary: allow the same OPAC login for different users at different branches QA Contact: koha.sekjal@gmail.com Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: melia@bywatersolutions.com Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: master Component: Authentication Product: Koha Right now the OPAC login must be globally unique. You can't have the same username at different branches. For example, Jim Smith at the South Branch can't have the same username at Jim Smith at the North Branch. Would like to allow the same OPAC login for different users at different branches. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

How will Koha know wich user is the right one? What happens when both persons choose the same password? We don't ask for the branch on login. What happens when the user moves and the patron record is changed to be at the same branch as the other person of the same name? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I recommend against it. Like with any site, usernames are subject to availability. Adding a namespace prefix or suffix per branch would keep the field unique, but allow different branches to use the same root name. Ex: smith@CPL v. smith@AFPL -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

That makes sense, and thanks Ian for your suggestion of branch prefix or suffix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
