Description Jesse Weaver 2016-01-07 21:39:45 UTC
In large library systems, it can be inconvenient to allow a staff member to edit circulation rules for all libraries. A permission that allows editing only circ rules for the staff member's home library would help.

Never mind, my db update didn't run correctly. This looks like it's (still) working correctly.
Comment 7 Josef Moravec 2018-02-05 09:12:17 UTC
Jesse, this is working good, but I have found some small issues though:

The new permission option is added only for existing installation, we need this in installer data too.

Would be good to have test for the new functionality of haspermission sub.

Bug 15520: Add permission to restrict circ rules editing to own library

Test plan:

1) Ensure that you have four users:
 a) A superlibrarian
 b) A user with all `parameters` permissions (the toplevel `parameters`
    box is checked).
 c) A user with the `manage_circ_rules` permission (and, of course,
    `catalogue`).
 d) A user with the `manage_circ_rules`, `manage_circ_rules_restricted`
    and `catalogue` permissions.
2) As all four users, load the "Circulation and fine rules"
   administration page (admin/smart-rules.pl).
3) The page should be unchanged for the first three users. It should be
   possible to view and edit the circ rules for all libraries.
4) The last (restricted) user should only be able to view and edit the
   circ rules for their own library.

Followed test plan, patch worked as described

This is not the logged in user's home library, it is the library where the user is logged in now - so when user change library, he/she could change another's library rules!
Comment 11 Katrin Fischer 2018-04-04 15:17:41 UTC
But couldn't they change the home library in their records too? 
I think in general we got a problem there, that you can get around the limits, maybe the logged-in library is more helpful?

I think this should be the user's logged in library - for extra protection I think the library would implement AutoLocation and limit logged in site by ip so this would require some extra steps but would also be a first level guard against accidentally altering other rules

A lot of the public and smaller libraries here don't have static IP addresses, so AutoLocation is not good. But it's a problem we should solve on this bug report! I think the new permission adds an extra barrier as a good first step and it will prevent people from accidentally editing the wrong library's rules.
Comment 14 Katrin Fischer 2018-05-23 12:41:24 UTC
it's NOT a problem we should solve here... (sorry, typo)
Comment 15 Jonathan Druart 2018-05-28 20:19:31 UTC
Yes, that would work, but it smells a bit :)

For instance a superlibrarian user will have CAN_manage_circ_rules_restricted set in templates.

Why not simply do the reverse, like view_borrower_infos_from_any_libraries, and name it manage_circ_rules_from_any_libraries (will need to be set on update for patrons with manage_circ_rules).
It would remove the new parameter and avoid a permission to restrict, which could add side-effects (maybe not now, but certainly later).

It does make more sense to me

I agree with Jonathan's proposal. We can remove this later once the permissions system is based on the library hierarchies :-D
