User Administrators: Removing Student Employee Roles
Open the student employee’s full patron record.
Delete all roles except for the Patron role and Instructor role (if present.)
It’s very important not to delete the patron role - that is what allows patrons to borrow library materials, and is managed by the library patron loader process.
It’s also important not to delete the instructor role (if present) - this is what allows TAs and graduate instructors to use Leganto.
