Power to the Partner: Enhancing Administrative Control in Koha

The Power to the Partner initiative aims to reduce libraries’ reliance on vendors’ manual backend processes by providing Koha administrators with secure, intuitive tools directly within Koha’s Administration and Tools modules. By shifting key configuration and management capabilities into Koha’s interface, this approach streamlines workflows, improves overall Koha efficiency, and minimizes errors that often arise from extended back-and-forth communication during setup, configuration and credential management. Providing Koha administrators with expanded access not only accelerates implementation and updates but also enhances accuracy and sustainability in system management. This presentation will explore how enabling administrative self-service within Koha can strengthen operational independence while maintaining system stability and security.
