Apply Access Rights to viewer display in Alma

The embedded viewer and the link out to view any resource have the same Access Rights applied automatically, depending on the users role. So, there is no more need to link out the resource in order to apply the access right restrictions. If the user doesn't have access to the resource, a message will appear.

Highlights

• Easier to share and collaborate with resources

• More consistent behavior across the platform

• Privacy and protection enhanced

• Clear indication when the resource cannot be accessed
