LAD Assistant Profiles

LAD lets the systems administrator set up and modify user profiles that have limited access to the ProQuest Local Administrator features. These LAD Assistant profiles can be used in a variety of ways. For example, you may create an account for a student intern at your library which lets them print usage reports but doesn't give them access to any of the other features.
