Description Nicole C. Engard 2016-02-10 18:49:02 UTC
Goal : Add ability to control if a staff user can create new patrons vs editing existing patrons

Work to be done:
1) Add new borrowers sub-permission ‘modify’
2) Add new borrowers sub-permission ‘create’
3) Implement new permissions for patron editor/creator

Comment 1 Nick Clemens 2018-01-26 10:56:42 UTC
I think ideally we would add a third 'delete' permission, updated site link:

Comment 3 Jessie Zairo 2019-08-01 19:25:41 UTC
I think in addition to giving a delete permission, we should also had a merge patron permission.
Comment 4 Sarah Cornell 2019-08-21 17:44:53 UTC
We just had our first accidental borrower deletion in almost 2 years, so I'm pleased to see this is already suggested!

I'd like to see permissions broken down thus:

create
modify
renew
delete
merge

The funding link is broken.  Is there still a call out for cosponsors?
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2020-04-18 22:29:38 UTC
I agree about delete and merge - but I am unsure about splitting create and modify. 

Say you create a new patron, but you discover you have typoed the email address or phone number after saving - you won't be able to fix it, if you don't have create and modify. 

I feel like they both should go together, but wonder if there is a use case where splitting makes sense?
Comment 6 Fiona Borthwick 2020-09-16 11:32:17 UTC
One of our large public library customers is due to go live next month and are currently working out their staff permissions.
This exact question has been asked - can they give the DELETE permission to some members of staff but not to others?

This would  be a very welcome enhancement as we really don't offer many patron permissions at all at present.

Bug 15788: Use delete_borrowers permission

Link the new delete_borrowers sub-permission to the delete actions.

Test plan
1/ Remove the delete_borrowers permission from a staff user
2/ Check that the user cannot use the 'Delete' option from the members
menu.
Comment 9 Martin Renvoize 2021-01-12 14:33:00 UTC
These patches simply add a 'delete_borrowers' sub-permissions and bind the option to delete borrowers to it.  All other 'edit_borrowers' options should remain intact.
Comment 10 Martin Renvoize 2021-02-03 09:11:41 UTC
Anyone fancy testing this?
Comment 11 David Nind 2021-03-17 11:13:18 UTC
After applying the patch and the database update:

- You can't expand any of the "Show details" to see the sub permissions for a patron.

- There is an error in the web developer tools console:

   Uncaught ReferenceError: CAN_user_borrowers_delete_borrowers is not defined
      <anonymous> Ember
      jQuery 4
          i
          fireWith

Thanks for testing David.. I found the issue, I'd neglected to add one of the files to the final commit!

All sorted now, should be working this time around.. Doh!

Looks like we are missing renew and merge. It would have been good to split this bug report.

Pushing as it anyway.

Pushed to master for 21.11, thanks to everybody involved!
