How do I create Alma accounts for Emeriti?

Answer

After the patron has followed the process at your campus to join the Emeriti, they will need an account in Alma. 

In Alma, go to Admin -- Manage Users. 

Click Add User -- Public.

  • User group (this is what the User Record Type/User Group menu populates) = Emeriti
  • Campus
  • Expiration (follow your campus's policies on Emeriti account expirations). 
  • Role = patron
