What is the format for the direct link to the Library Card area, and how can I prevent patrons from updating their contact information?

Answer

The library card direct link syntax is https://suny-[campus].primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/account?vid=01SUNY_[campus]:01SUNY_[campus]&section=overview

example: https://suny-fit.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/account?vid=01SUNY_FIT:01SUNY_FIT&section=overview

If you're setting up your patrons as external users, you won't want them to be able to change their contact information in the Library Card area in Primo because it will just be wiped out the next time the data is loaded from your SIS. To hide the "edit details" option, go to Alma Configuration>General>General Configuration>Other Settings> parameter key: primo_patron_info_updatable (free text description: user is updatable) = N
