Most libraries hire student staff to work in circulation and fulfillment roles. When those staff members are hired, they need to be granted a role profile in Alma so they can log in with their netid and password. We do not use generic accounts.
Most student stuff receive one profile that contains:
Circulation Operator Limited for the library they work at;
Request Operator for the library they work at;
Printout Queue Operator

Course Reserves Viewer
Some students may receive additional permissions for special projects or unique roles.
