<h1><a name="XREF_24067_Patron_Log_On"></a>Controlling Patron Account Login and Access</h1>
<p>Use the following Polaris Administration settings to control PAC login and access to patron account information: </p>
<p><a name="kanchor2086"></a><a name="IX_single_log_on_overview"></a><a name="kanchor2087"></a><a name="IX_in_PAC_1"></a><b>Single Login: Enable</b>&#160;(PowerPAC profile) - If this profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, a <b>Log In/Register</b>&#160;option is displayed in the My Account menu and in the page footer. A <b style="font-size: 11pt;">Log In</b> link is also displayed at the top of the page. This allows a patron to log in once for a session, instead of each time a function requires identification. When patrons provide log-in information for the first time (for example, in requesting a hold), they remain logged in until they select a log-out option, or until the Polaris PowerPAC session times out.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>If you change this profile, you must clear the page cache. See <a href="../PDOMobilePAC/Mobile_PAC_Basics.htm#TOC_Updating_Page_Caches1" class="MCXref xref" xrefformat="{color blue}{paratext}{/color}"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Updating Page Caches</span></a>. If you do not, you may see unexpected results, and it may be possible for a patron to see another patrons account information at a library workstation.</p>
<p>
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/PACLogIn.png" alt="" />
</p>
<p>When the patron has logged in, the PowerPAC page displays the patrons name and the <b>Log Out</b> option in the dashboard and at the top of the the page. The patron can click or tap the <b style="font-size: 11pt;">Welcome</b> link to display the Items Out page for the patron's account. When a patron logs in from the My Account menu, the Items Out page is automatically displayed</p>
<p>
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/PACLogOut.png" alt="" />
</p>
<p>The logged-in patron can select an option in the <b>My Account</b>&#160;menu or on the dashboard to see their record, the items they have checked out, hold requests, fines and fees, and saved searches. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The Single Login profile also allows Polaris to cache patron log-in information for e-sources authentication. See <a href="../PDOeSources/Setting_Up_E-Source_Targets.htm#XREF_31243_Setting_Up_E">Setting Up E-Source Targets</a>.</p>
<p>Polaris Mobile PAC allows a single log-in until the patron deliberately logs out, disconnects from the Mobile PAC site, or is inactive for 20 minutes. See <a href="../PDOMobilePAC/Patron_Log-In_Settings_for_Mobile_PAC.htm#XREF_76179_Patron_Log_On">Patron Log-In Settings for Mobile PAC</a>.</p>
<p><b>Patron Access: policy statement hyper text link permitted</b>&#160;and <b>Patron Access: policy statement hyper text link </b>(PAC profile)<b>&#160;</b>- Enable the hyperlink text and define the text. See <a href="Set_up_a_privacy_statement_link_Polaris_PowerPAC.htm#XREF_85339_Set_up_a_prviacy">Set up a privacy statement link (Polaris PowerPAC)</a>. </p>
<p><b>Login retries </b>(PAC profile) - Limits the number of times a patron can attempt to log into the PAC without success. See <a href="Limit_log-in_attempts.htm#XREF_67979_Limit_log_in">Limit log-in attempts</a>.</p>
<p><b>Patron inactivity timeout </b>(PowerPAC profile) - Specifies the period of inactivity after which a logged-in patron at a library (in-house) workstation is automatically logged out. See <a href="Set_an_inactivity_timeout_for_in-house_workstations.htm#XREF_92905_Set_an_inactivity">Set an inactivity timeout for in-house workstations</a>.</p>
<p><b>Active directory logon </b>(PAC profile) - Allows a PAC log-on using Active Directory credentials instead of the Polaris patron barcode or username and password. This feature is particularly suitable in academic settings, enabling students to authenticate into Polaris PowerPAC and Mobile PAC using their campus network credentials established in Active Directory. The user must have a Polaris patron record, but the authentication uses the users network ID, contained in a Polaris patron record User Defined Field (UDF), rather than the patron record barcode and password. Although a patron record barcode is required by Polaris, it will not be used for any PAC authentication. When the user attempts to log in from Polaris PowerPAC or Mobile PAC, the log-in page prompts for the network credentials instead of the usual Polaris barcode/username and password. For set-up instructions, see <a href="Set_Up_PAC_Active_Directory_Log_On.htm#XREF_26310_Set_Up_PAC_Active">Set Up PAC Active Directory Log On</a>.</p>
<p><b>Navigation: Patron account </b>(PowerPAC and Mobile PAC profiles) - When this profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the <b>My Account</b>&#160;option is displayed on the Polaris PowerPAC menu bar.</p>
<p><b>Navigation: Fines &amp; fees</b>&#160;(PowerPAC and Mobile PAC profiles) - When this profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the <b>Fines &amp; Fees</b>&#160;option is displayed on the My Account menu. </p>
<p><b>Navigation: Items Out</b>&#160;(PowerPAC and Mobile PAC profiles) - When this profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the <b>Items Out</b>&#160;option is displayed on the My Account menu and summary information is displayed in the patron account page dashboard.</p>
<p><b>Navigation: My Record</b>&#160;- When the profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the <b>My Record</b> option is displayed on the My Account menu.</p>
<p><b>Navigation: Requests</b>&#160;(PowerPAC and Mobile PAC profiles) - When this profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the <b>Requests</b>&#160;option is displayed on the My Account menu, summary information is displayed in the patron account page dashboard, and a link to the list of requests is displayed when a request is placed. </p>
<p><b>Navigation: Claimed and Lost</b> (PowerPAC and Mobile PAC profiles) - When this profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the Claimed and Lost view is displayed in the patron account.</p>
<p><a name="kanchor2088"></a><a name="IX_displaying_in_PAC_10"></a><b>Patron access: Display hold queue information</b>&#160;(PAC profile) - When this profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the position of a patrons request in the holds queue is displayed on the Requests page of the patron account. </p>
<p><b>Patron Access: Renewal </b>(PAC profile) - When the <b>Renewal permitted </b>option is checked, patrons can renew all or selected items from the Items Out page in the patron account. If the <b>Allow renewal if patron registration will expire</b>&#160;option is selected, the patron sees the expiration message in PAC but the renewal is allowed. The system uses the setting of the governing library for patron blocks.</p>
<p><b>Patron access options</b>&#160;(PAC profile) - Use the options available in this profile to set up self-registration; specify defaults; set password options; specify the reminder notices that patrons can opt out of receiving; specify the contact information the patron can change; specify the associated patron information that is displayed for patrons who have associations; specify which custom fields display and whether they are required; specify whether patrons can send "Ask us" emails. See <a href="Setting_Patron_Account_Options.htm#XREF_68457_Setting_Patron">Setting Patron Account Options.</a></p>

<p>You can allow users to log on to PAC using network credentials (Active Directory logon) instead of the Polaris patron record barcode/username and password. ActiveDirectory logon has these requirements and limitations:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The Polaris production server must be in the same domain as the Active Directory service.</li>
<li>The library must designate a user-defined field (UDF) to contain the network ID in the patron record. Staff can search for patron records by this UDF if trouble-shooting is necessary. For information about setting up UDFs,<MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online"> see <a href="../../Patron_Services_Admin/PDPpatacct/Setting_Up_User-Defined_Fields.htm#XREF_64065_User_Defined">Setting Up User-Defined Fields</a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></li>
<li>
<p class="FM_Task">The Polaris patron record barcode and password will not work to log on to the patron record in PAC. Because the network ID is the standard for access and the Polaris patron barcode/password cannot be used to log on, the library must limit the users ability to manage this Polaris patron data by suppressing certain options from PAC. In Polaris Administration, suppress the following options with the PAC profile <b>Patron access options</b> (see <a href="Setting_Patron_Account_Options.htm#XREF_68457_Setting_Patron">Setting Patron Account Options</a>):</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Create a username - On the Log In tabbed page (system level only), clear the <b>Enable patron username</b> checkbox.</li>
<li>Change passwords - On the Log In tabbed page, clear the <b>Patron can change password</b> checkbox.</li>
<li>Manage forgotten passwords - On the Log In tabbed page (system level only), clear the <b>E-mail forgotten password </b>checkbox.</li>
<li>Register for a patron account online - On the Self-registration tabbed page, clear the<b> Patron can self-register</b> checkbox.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>SIP applications, such as third-party self-check, will not work with the Active Directory credentials. They require the Polaris patron record barcode and password. </li>

<h2><a name="XREF_26075_Patron_Inactivity"></a>Patron Inactivity Timer</h2>
<p>The patron inactivity timer starts only when a patron has stopped doing any of the following actions: clicking Polaris product buttons, links, cover images; clicking in the PowerPAC portion of the browser window; or entering a credit card payment. When any of these actions occur, activity is registered and the inactivity timer is restarted. Actions that are not counted as activity include resizing or moving the browser window; accessing browser menu options; scrolling; or accessing any third-party resource that opens in a lightbox, frameset, or new browser window.</p>
<p>When this feature is enabled, the browser status bar displays a count-down timer when 60 seconds are left before automatic logout. In addition, an alert box displays the following message 30 seconds before the session is due to time out: <b>Your session will end in 30 seconds</b>. </p>
<p>If the user clicks the <b>Continue session</b>&#160;button in the timeout alert box, the session timeout clock restarts, and the user remains on the current page. If a lightbox was open, it remains open. If the user does not click the <b>Continue session</b>&#160;button, the session ends, and the page defined in the <b>Patron inactivity timeout profile</b>&#160;displays. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When a credit card payment is submitted, the Patron Inactivity Timeout value is calculated by adding it to the credit card gateway timeout set in the Credit Card parameter <b>Online payments: Configure</b>&#160;plus 90 seconds. </p>
<p>The count-down timer text can be edited in Polaris Language Editor (string ID <b>PACML_TIMEOUMSG</b>).</p>
<p>The following language strings can be edited in Polaris Language Editor:</p>

<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>Complete this procedure for each branch that allows patron self-registration.</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, select <b>Profiles</b> &gt; <b>PAC</b>.</li>
<li value="2">Double-click <b>Patron access options</b>. <p>The <b>Patron Access Options</b> dialog appears.</p></li>

</p>
<li value="4">To allow patrons to change their passwords online, select the <b>Patron can change password</b> checkbox.</li>
<li value="5">To specify an override password for staff, perform these steps:</li>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>A staff member can use the staff override password to help a patron access the account in case the password has been forgotten. Once in the account, if the <b>Patron can change password</b> box is selected, the patron can specify a new password by selecting a link on the PAC patron account page.</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
<li value="1">Select the <b>Enable staff override</b> checkbox.</li>
<li value="2">Type a password in the <b>PAC override password</b> box. The password can be 4 to 16 characters (letters and numbers), but cannot include spaces.</li>
</ol>
<li value="6">(System level only) To allow patrons to set up and change usernames, select <b>Enable patron username</b>.</li>
<p><a name="kanchor367"></a><a name="IX_format"></a>A patron can enter their username instead of a barcode when signing in to use PAC functions such as viewing their account or placing a hold request. The username is displayed in the patron account in PAC, and the patron barcode is masked to display only the last four digits. The username is also accepted for signing in to third-party self-service devices (devices that rely on SIP or SIP2) and in Polaris ExpressCheck. </p>
<p>The username must be a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 50 alphanumeric characters, and cannot contain spaces. It must begin with a letter. The following special characters are also allowed: <b>-</b> (dash), <b>_</b> (underscore), <b>.</b> (period), and <b>@</b> (at). The username must not contain two special characters next to each other, and cannot match an existing patron barcode.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Patron usernames are not available to staff. Staff cannot assign them during patron registration, they are not searchable or available for reports, and they are not displayed in the patron record. Only patrons can create or change usernames.</p>
<li value="7">(System level only) To allow patrons to receive an email message containing a time-sensitive link to reset their password, select <b>E-mail reset password link</b>.</li>
<p>When this option is set, the PAC, MobilePAC, or Polaris ExpressCheck sign in pages include a <b>Forgot password?</b> link. When the patron selects the link, an email message containing a time-sensitive link to reset their password is sent to both the primary and alternate email addresses in the patron record. If no email address is present in the patron record, the system displays an error message.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If the patron has forgotten both their username and their password, they must contact the library. Staff can assign a new password. Using this and the barcode, the patron can set up a new username.</p>
<li value="8">To restrict passwords to numeric characters (PINs), select <b>Passwords must be numeric only</b>.</li>
<p>This option is useful if you use Polaris Phone Attendant and allow patrons to sign in by telephone to hear information about their accounts. (Alternatively, you can allow alphanumeric passwords from the Phone Attendant.<MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online"> See <a href="../../Telephony_Admin/PTInboundTel/Set_Phone_Attendant_options_for_specific_lines.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Set Phone Attendant Options for Specific Lines</span></a>.)</MadCap:conditionalText> If you choose to enable this option, existing alphanumeric passwords will continue to work but only numeric passwords are accepted when a new account is created or when a patron password is changed from the staff client or from PAC.</p>
<li value="9">Select <b>Apply</b> to apply your settings and continue working with Patron Access options, or select <b>Save</b> to save your settings and close the Patron Access options dialog.</li>
<li value="10">Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> Save</b>.</li>

Polaris uses your self-registration format, if you have one defined. By default, Polaris issues the patron a temporary barcode beginning with <b>PACREG</b>. The temporary barcode allows the patron to do certain operations online, such as request a hold, but blocks the patron from checking out materials until the new record is verified by staff. </p>
<p>You can also set Polaris to send an automatic notification email to a library staff account. When the notification arrives, staff members can review the registration information and create the library card.</p>
<p><b>To allow patrons to register for either type of barcode online</b>
</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>Do this procedure for each branch that allows patron self-registration.</p>
