Electronic Resources are not always available to all patrons at a subscribing institution, either due to region locking or prohibitive pricing for extending access to students at partner institutions/certain user groups. Currently in Alma/Primo VE there is no satisfactory way to stop these resources surfacing where a signed in user does not have access such as when Alumni or Walk In.

The restricted user groups feature is overkill in this regard. We don't want to limit a user groups access to CDI or EBSCO content entirely, just select collections/databases based on the licence restrictions pertaining to their user group.

What I propose is an additional range of options in the Discovery Interface Display Logic rules configuration to go alongside Electronic Collection and Interface - License Terms. If these criteria were available to use general rules could be set up to govern access on an Licence Term basis, rather than a per Resource basis which is cumbersome as this needs to be configured for each individual resource.

So for example if on the licence terms Alumni Access = No, you could configure the rule to be
For user groups: Alumni
Hide: Full Text/DB Service
With: Licence
With Licence Term: Alumni Access
Selection equals: No

This would provide customers with a better range of tools to manage content access beyond the separate discovery views and provide patrons with a more accurate list of content available to them.
