<div dir="ltr">I don't have answers to all of your questions, but I don't believe there is a way to disable patron logins for the OPAC. Anyone can search the OPAC without logging in, it's just the ability to use customized services that require a login.<br>
<br>As for creating a patron without an OPAC login - that you can do. You can add their login info later or you can just leave it blank forever.<br clear="all"><br><br>---<br><br>Nicole C. Engard<br>Open Source Evangelist, LibLime<br>

1) If i do not provide an OPAC login when adding a patron, i am assuming they cannot login.<br><br>Please view this question from the point of view: there is no security hole allowing someone to "login AS the patron"<br>
<br>2) Is there a way to disable a patron login to OPAC at any time? What happens if i edit the patron record and clear out the login name?<br><br>3) Is there a way for me to add a patron and defer creating their login till later?<br>
<br>4) Anytime i edit the OPAC login, does the e-mail notice with the login
and password information get sent automatically? Or is there a way i
can trigger them manually?<br><br>At our library, we will snail-mail a membership card and wait for patrons to acknowledge they received them and want an OPAC login before we create one for them. <br>We don't expect many people to use an OPAC login, but still want the other nice features for people who will.<br>
