Hello, I have a question to the self-checkout-module. As documentated I enabled in the preferences "AutoSelfCheckAllowed" with "AutoSelfCheckID" (a special user with circulation rights, for example "MyCheckoutRobot") and the "AutoSelfCheckPass". Then I log in in the OPAC as a another patron (e.g. "Uwe") without any rights and go to the self-checkout-page and log in too. If I now go back to the OPAC I'm suddenly logged in as the in the preferences defined user (in this example "MyCheckoutRobot"). Perhaps I don't understand the module. But how can I prevent the user change in the OPAC from "Uwe" to "MyCheckoutRobot"? What I only want is that a normal patron can use the self-checkout-system. Thanks and best wishes Uwe
Hi Uwe, not sure if I understand you correctly, but I will try to explain how it works: When going to the self check page, it should log in with the special user you set up automatically. Now any patron should be able to start the checkout process using their cardnumber or user name (SelfCheckoutByLogin) and then proceed to do checkouts. I think the idea behind the web based self check was a computer sitting in the library that is used as a self checkout station only. Maybe also set so that only the self checkout page can be opened? There are some open bugs that should be pushed soon, that deal with the behaviour you describe and should improve things quite a bit. Hope this helps, Katrin Am 12.09.2015 um 17:22 schrieb uwe:

Yes that all works correct as you described. The User "Uwe" logged in to self-checkout and changes his login to the special user "MySelfCheckoutRobot". And then the if I change back to normal OPAC I'm yet logged in as the special user "MySelfCheckoutRobot". This seems to me a strange behavior;-).

Yes thank you very much :-). Best wishes Uwe

I have not the appropriate rights to see the bugs. Seems that the bugs are not fixed yet?

Thank you for the information. That would explain it. Is there a known solution to prevent this? Best wishes Uwe You wrote
