Odd things happen with an Athens account....We always urge our users to apply for an account using an NHS PC, as 'the other way' takes longer - verification & all that. The latest applicant is a nurse in Melbourne (yup, that Melbourne) - how she got an email through to me is a mystery, unless she was seriously trawling the web; and I've been forwarded an email correctly addressed to eduserv from someone in Malta wanting to know how, there, they could access Athens - a legit enquiry. It strikes me, though, that it's perfectly possible - given the format of our usernames [nhsinitialsurname3numbers] - that somewhere in England there's another J Fox.... and it's s/he who has 'saved' the searches. Try giving the user a longer name (i.e. josefox014) & see if the problem replicates; I bet it won't.

During a training session on HDAS she discovered that several searches had already been saved against this account, and NOT by her. How can this have happened is, as she assures me, she has never used HDAS with this account before, and has not passed account details to a colleague? How secure is this facility, and could potentially confidential material be accessed by people with no right to it? I'm copying in several distribution lists to this query as I suspect the problem and your response may be of general interest.
