Creating a Username in Vega Discover
Currently in the PAC, patrons are allowed to create a special username in place of library card barcode to sign in and use the account. However, Vega Discover does not have the functionality to go into My Bookshelf for example, and create a username for their account within the patron's settings. Is this functionality that can be added to the newer catalog in order to ensure that all patrons can have access to that feature?

Agree. We just migrated to Polaris and Vega Discover. Some of our patrons had previously used usernames in Sierra, and those transferred with the data.
Since staff are not able to see or modify those usernames in Polaris Leap (only a few have access to the client: primarily Tech Services and SysAdmin), our frontline staff can't provide support. Patrons would need to use the Polaris PAC to create/modify their usernames.
We aren't planning to use the PAC at this time and haven't setup any of the branding/features.
I could provide a recent patron quote, if that would be helpful.
