Multi Site Library, circulation user can't search patron outside their location
Hi all, I work at a school that has 2 physical sites but we use one Koha Instance\database to house the collection (we have subnet IPs setup for each site to pick up the default library). We often need a user with basic circulation permissions to circulate books to students, however I am finding that unless the user is a superlibrarian they can only view patrons from the subnet of the library they are in (unless they know the correct UserID of the patron). Site 1: Campus 1 IP: 10.166.x.x Site 2: Campus 2 IP: 10.132.x.x So if the circulation user is on Site 2 they can only view patrons from site 2, and under filters they only have the option of filtering the library but site 2. This is a bit of an issue as we often have staff and students move between campuses. I have searched through the lists as best I can however I can't seem to come up with a solution, any help would be really appreciated.

Hi Bob, Thank you for the quick response. You are spot on and it looks like that was the issue. It was set to prevent. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
