[Koha] software error when user not superlibrarian tries to find a patron

[Ere Maijala]

Hi Carolina,

That's the only situation where I've seen this is when you login with 
the database administrator account. So, could it be that you've used 
that as the superlibrarian user? If so, you should either use the 
superlibrarian account created during onboarding (see 
https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/01_installation.html#create-a-patron) 
or login with the database account just to create a proper patron 
account that you can use for other functionality.

Regards,
Ere
