If you look at the Technical Recommendations for Participants for the UK federation: http://www.ukfederation.org.uk/library/uploads/Documents/technical-recommendations-for-participants.pdf Section 7.1.2 indicates that "library-walk-in" (which should only be asserted by a user physically present on approved premises) is just as much of an authorised user as "member", "staff" or "student". Please note that "affiliate" does not convey full authorised status, and SPs are quite right to not give full access.
