Error message at login: 'You do not have permission to access this page'
Hi out there, I'm glad to take part in this list in my effort to set up a working Koha database for the library of our institute. Unfortunately, I encounter the first problem right at the beginning: When logging in with my database administrator account, I get this message: "Warning: You're logged in with the database administrator account. This is a bad idea, and you are likely to encounter problems. You should create a patron to use when administering Koha and give it superlibrarian permissions." So I did: I've created a new patron with my name (peters), choosing the category "SuperUser (SU)" (the only available option). When I try to log in as this patron, however, I get the message: "Error: You do not have permission to access this page." So, what's going wrong?! Grateful for any helpful idea! Frank
Greetings, There is no link (currently) between a patron category and patron permissions. 1) Login to staff client 2) Click Patrons 3) Click the letter of the person's last name (e.g. Frank Peters would be listed under 'P') 3a) if a list is given, click the name of the person, not Edit. 4) Click 'More' -- You should notice a 'Set Permissions' entry. 5) Click 'Set Permissions' Fix the permissions, save, and be glad you don't have to do that all the time. :) GPML, Mark Tompsett
Thank you, Mark, for your super fast reply - which perfectly answered my question!

You can ignore that warning and continue working. For your newly created patron edit the patron account and edit permissions and check all the permission boxes. Once done save and exit. Try login with newly created account and check. Cheers Ahmad Amanullah Khan On Feb 19, 2015 10:57 PM, "Frank Peters" <kohala@online.de> wrote:
