Bug 11317 introduced in Koha 18.05 a new variable "access_dir" which is nowhere
documented in the Koha manual, as far as I could see. In new Koha installations
 the following can be found in "koha-conf.xml"

<access_dirs>
  <access_dir></access_dir>
  <access_dir></access_dir>
</access_dirs>

but it is nowhere explained how to set or how to use these veriables.

In older versions of Koha that are updated these variables are missing and as
far as I can remember there is no notice that they should/could be added.

However, if you click Koha menu "Tools > Access files" you will get the
message:

Error: Files could not be found because the "access_dir" option was not set in
"koha-conf.xml". Contact your system administrator to add this option.

There is section
https://koha-community.org/manual/20.11/en/html/tools.html#access-files in the
manual but it just says "The directories where the files are stored need to be
defined in the koha-conf.xml file." without further explanation.
