Default: Disabled

Werte:

  • Deaktiviert

  • Enforced

  • Permissive

Beschreibung:

  • Dieser Parameter bewirkt, dass im OPAC eine Einverständniserklärung zum Datenschutz angezeigt wird, wenn ein Benutzer versucht, sich anzumelden. Dies kann für DSGVO oder andere rechtliche Anforderungen bezüglich der Einholung der Zustimmung des Benutzers zur Datenerfassung verwendet werden.

  • Wenn dieser Parameter auf „Erzwungen“ gesetzt ist, wird dem Benutzer beim Versuch, sich im OPAC anzumelden, ein Formular zur Einwilligung in die Datenschutzrichtlinien vorgelegt.

Stimmt der Benutzer der Datenschutzrichtlinie nicht zu, wird er von seinem Konto abgemeldet.

  • Wenn dieser Parameter auf „Tolerant“ gesetzt ist, wird dem Benutzer das Formular zur Einwilligung in den Datenschutz angezeigt, aber er muss nicht zustimmen, um auf sein Benutzerkonto zugreifen zu können.

Bemerkung

When the patron reaches the number of failed attempts, their account will be locked. There will be a message ‚Account has been locked‘ in the patron’s brief information panel on the left side of the screen.

Pseudonymisierungs-Werte:

  • Deaktiviere

  • Aktiviere

Pseudonymization default: Disable

PseudonymizationPatronFields-Werte:

  • [Alle auswählen]

  • Stadt

  • Land

  • Datum, an dem der Benutzer in Koha angelegt wurde

  • Patron’s category

  • Patron’s gender

  • Patron’s library

  • Patron’s title

  • [Alle auswählen]

  • Sammlung

  • Datum und Uhrzeit der Transaktion

  • Aktuelle Bibliothek

  • Heimatbibliothek

  • Medientyp

  • Signatur

  • Exemplarnummer

  • Transaktionsbibliothek

  • Standort

  • Transaktionsart

PseudonymizationTransactionFields vorbelegter Wert: keine Auswahl

Beschreibung:

  • Diese Parameter bieten die Möglichkeit, Kundendaten zu pseudonymisieren, wobei für die Berichterstattung nützliche Transaktionsinformationen erhalten bleiben. Die Pseudonymisierung kann Teil der Sicherheits- und Datenschutzabläufe der Bibliothek sein und ermöglicht es den Bibliothekaren, die Zeit zu verkürzen, in der sie personenbezogene Daten in anderen Koha-Tabellen aufbewahren.

  • Pseudonymisierte Daten werden in den Datenbanktabellen pseudonymized_transactions (für Transaktionen und Benutzerdaten) und pseudonymized_borrower_attributes (für Benutzerattribute) gespeichert.

  • Es werden keine direkten Identifikatoren für den Benutzer gespeichert; die Tabelle pseudonymized_transactions verwendet eine verschlüsselte Version der Benutzernummer.

  • Nachdem Sie den Parameter Pseudonymization aktiviert haben, bearbeiten Sie die patron attribute types, die Sie in der Tabelle pseudonymized_borrower_attributes speichern möchten. Markieren Sie diese Attribute als „Für Pseudonymisierung aufbewahren“.

  • Wenn die Pseudonymisierung aktiviert ist, werden Daten aus Feldern, die in PseudonymizationPatronFields und PseudonymizationTransactionFields ausgewählt wurden, in den Tabellen pseudonymized_transactions und pseudonymized_borrower_attributes gespeichert. Für jede neue Transaktion (Ausleihe, Rückgabe, Verlängerung, Vor-Ort-Ausleihe) werden Einträge hinzugefügt. Dies geschieht zusätzlich zu den Transaktionsdaten, die in den üblichen Datenbanktabellen aufgezeichnet werden, z. B. in Ausgaben und Statistiken.

  • Die Werte in den Pseudonymisierungstabellen werden so gespeichert, wie sie zum Zeitpunkt der Transaktion sind. Diese Tabellen werden durch die Löschung von Benutzern oder Exemplaren nicht beeinflusst.

  • Ältere Einträge in den Pseudonymisierungstabellen können mit dem clean up database script gelöscht werden.

Bemerkung

Die Daten werden nicht rückwirkend in die Tabellen aufgenommen: nur neue Transaktionen, die nach Aktivierung der Pseudonymisierung durchgeführt werden, werden erfasst.

Warnung

Damit die Pseudonymisierung funktioniert, müssen Bcrypt_settings in der Koha-Konfigurationsdatei eingetragen werden.

RequireStrongPassword

Asks: ___ a strong password for staff and patrons

Default: Require

Werte:

  • Don’t require

  • Erfordere

Beschreibung:

Password strength can also be set by patron category.
