[Bug 8641] New: Add information warning about log-in as root user to About->System information
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8641 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 8641 Assignee: nengard@gmail.com Summary: Add information warning about log-in as root user to About->System information Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: veron@veron.ch Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: master Component: About Product: Koha Created attachment 11618 --> http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=11618&action=edit Screenshot with warnings regarding current user on About page If you are logged in as database administrative user,a lot of things do not wok. It seems that this is a pitfall a lot of newbies fall in (me included, as far as I remeber). See e.g. http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2012-08-06 (20:26) --- Hello, I'm helping my Library get Koha setup as their new ILS. I've got it up and running, but it doesn't seem to be remembering anything. (Library is always not set, etc.) Any help would be appreciated. ;) --- To prevent frustration and support questions, I propose to add some information to About->System Information (see screenshot). Patch follows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

A lot of things will not work with this account. Usually you need to log in with a regular staff account. To create a staff account, create a branch, a patron category 'Staff' and add a new patron. Then give this patron permissions from 'More' in the toolbar. After applying patch, I see: Warning regarding current user It seems that you are logged in as database administrative user.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8641 --- Comment #8 from Melia Meggs <melia@bywatersolutions.com> --- Also, this is just a matter of personal preference, but I think the wording of this message sounds somehow not quite right. I don't know what it is... maybe it just doesn't sound very confident, perhaps? I might rewrite it to be more authoritative, like this: "You are logged in as the database administrative user. This is not recommended because some parts of Koha will not function as expected when using this account. Please log in instead with a regular staff account. To create a staff account, create a library, a patron category 'Staff' and add a new patron. Then give this patron permissions from 'More' in the toolbar." That has the same meaning but a different tone. Not sure if it's worth the effort of someone writing another patch to change the wording when it carries basically the same meaning, but I thought I'd put the suggestion out there. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
