Automatic Space Assignment

There are instances when spaces need to be assigned to every person. Spaces can be assigned automatically when adding someone new. Configure the space by selecting New people will have access to readers in this space on the space details screen. When adding people, the "Spaces" on the person details screen will be pre-populated with default space selections.

Enabling or disabling the New people will have access to readers in this space setting does not change space assignments for people who already exist in the system.
