RDA-8 Allow Institutions to Set User Profile Defaults

Use Case

Institutions would like to create and maintain their own set of default preferences that apply to profiles created under their account.

Proposed Development

Create an account default setting function that would perhaps be accessible through RDA Toolkit’s Admin System.

User profile defaults

More information on what this entails would be good. Is this related to Institutional customisation of the Toolkit for our users? If so, we would see this a medium to high priority. (such things as limiting what public workflows, policies and other tools are visible to our users) When we begin with RDA in 2013 we do not want to confuse our cataloguing staff with a lot of shared information which contradicts the policies and workflows we have designed for them. We would like to see this customisation able to be set as a default at the institutional level rather than our staff having to create individual profiles to get access to this customisation.
