Gleeson Library Design System

Accounts & Access

Adding/removing user accounts and controlling access to the website.

Accounts Management

Creating and deleting/deactivating accounts must be done separately in each Springshare platform.

Access & Authentication

We use LibAuth to securely integrate USF's SSO authentication system with Springshare tools. This enables us to:

• Allow Library Staff to Log into LibApps Using myUSF Credentials
• Require Students to Authenticate When Booking Group Study Rooms
• Restrict Access to Library Staff Guides

The ERS Department has contacts in ITS who assist with SSO/LibAuth integrations.

Allow Library Staff to Log into LibApps Using myUSF Credentials

Library staff with Springshare accounts have the option to log into LibApps using USF's SSO authentication system.

Require Students to Authenticate When Booking Group Study Rooms

Students must use their myUSF credentials to reserve group study rooms in LibCal.

Restrict Access to Library Staff Guides

Only library staff — including student workers — should have access to Library Staff Guides.

In order to allow access to Library Staff Guides, approved users' email addresses must be added to the Library Staff Only group in the LibAuth module of LibApps.
