Question

What is the definition of 'Named Users' in Alma, and how can the number of Named Users be counted?

Answer

Named Users are users that have at least one role allowing them to log in to Alma. This includes all users with a role other than Patron, Instructor, or Trial Participant.

The number of Named Users for an Institution can be identified using the Staff Login Report (Configuration Menu > General > General Configuration > Staff Login Report).

This can also be calculated in Alma Analytics by creating a report in the Users Subject Area and adding a filter for Role Type is not equal to / is not in: Patron; Instructor; Trial Participant
