The table below explains the function of each setting:

| **Role** | **Permissions** |
| --- | --- |
| Guest | This defines which Access Permissions can access this OPAC as a Guest - this is normally set to Guest<br>If you are allowing [End User Submissions](https://soutron.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3278855), you need to tick all the OPAC Access Permissions that apply |
| Named OPAC User | This defines which Access Permissions can access this OPAC as a logged in OPAC user - this is normally set to OPAC Logged In<br>If you have created other [Access Permissions](https://soutron.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3277952) for OPAC users, ensure that these are ticked as well |
| Allow access for TCP/IP Group | This option is used to specify the group of users who can access the LMS via an [IP authentication](https://soutron.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3278698) group. This is also used when restricting access to an OPAC via [ADFS/SAML](https://soutron.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3278493). |
| Deny access for TCP/IP Group | This option is used to specify the group of users who can NOT access the LMS via an [IP authentication](https://soutron.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3278698) group.
