Description Kelly McElligott 2019-12-12 18:17:53 UTC
Bug 15496
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15496
Now gives the ability to delete the bib if the item you are attaching to another bib is the last item on the record.  The code states that the permission needed is Edit Catalogue, however, when this process is done, the API is making a call and not getting the right signal (or something). 

Upon working on this, it seems that a librarian would need to have the Overarching Permission in the Admin module to perform this action.

Bug 24232: Regression tests

This patch enhances the tests for the DELETE /biblios/:biblio_id
endpoint so more fine grained permissions are tested.

It highlights the fact that the required permissions defined on the spec
are not correcttly defined.

To test:
1. Run:
   $ kshell
  k$ prove t/db_dependent/api/v1/biblios.t
=> FAIL: Tests fail because the user (that now has subpermissions only)
does not have enough permissions for a non-existent subpermission

Bug 24232: Fix required permissions in DELETE /biblios/:biblio_id

This patch fixes the required permissions defined on the spec for the
mentioned endpoint.

To test:
1. Apply the tests patch
2. Run:
   $ kshell
  k$ prove t/db_dependent/api/v1/biblios.t
=> FAIL: Tests fail due to badly defined permissions
3. Apply this patch
4. Repeat 2
=> SUCCESS: Tests pass! Notice parameters: edit_catelogue didn't exist
5. Sign off :-D

Thanks for reporting it Kelly, it wasn't straightforward to detect the error!
Comment 4 Kelly McElligott 2019-12-17 19:56:09 UTC
Can the test plan be more simplistic for users?

1. Have a staff member with Edit Catalog permissions (Edit catalog (Modify bibliographic/holdings data) (edit_catalogue)) and within the Edit Catalog permissions, Edit Items.

2.  Find a bib record with 1 item.

3.  Attach that 1 item to another bib record.

4. Koha gives an error when staff tries to delete the record.

5.  Apply patch

6. Go through steps 1-3.

7. Success.  Staff can attach an item to a record and successfully delete the itemless bib in the same step.

Tomas, Kelly,

The script moveitem.pl requires editcatalogue => 'edit_items', the deletion of a biblio editcatalogue => edit_catalogue. Even if weird I guess we could have a librarian with edit_items but edit_catalogue.

I think we should show delete-biblio-btn if CAN_user_editcatalogue_edit_catalogue.

The script moveitem.pl requires editcatalogue => 'edit_items', the
deletion of a biblio editcatalogue => edit_catalogue. Even if weird I
guess we could have a librarian with edit_items but edit_catalogue.
Comment 8 Jonathan Druart 2019-12-18 08:53:10 UTC
Note that the message is meaningless: "The record has X attached items" is only displayed when X=0.

It is not that weird. It happens in academic institutions where there's central cataloguing and the rest of the branches just add their items.

Good idea!

Thanks for that, Kelly. Can you retest with Jonathan's follow-up? When submitting the signed patches to Bugzilla, please specify that it is 3 patches! (see the attachments block here) and don't forget to mark it Signed Off. Thanks!

Can you file a separate bug with that? I was dealing with wrong API permissions here!

Comment 15 Kelly McElligott 2019-12-18 17:35:27 UTC
Permissions:
If staff member has Edit Catalog and Edit Items, this process can be done.

If a staff member has Edit Items but not Edit Catalog, they can still attach the item, however the option to delete is not given.

If a staff member has only Edit Catalog (and not Edit Items), the option is not there to Attach an Item.
