Description Marc Véron 2016-01-25 14:51:35 UTC
Staff members should have at least 'circulate_remaining_permissions' to display patron information (as with Bug 14244). 
However, the biblio detail page (cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl) displays in the 'Holdings' tab, column 'Status' information like: 'Currently in local use by Edna Acosta : due 11/12/2015 23:59', and the link on the patron's name leads to the "No permission" page. 
This information should not display if 'circulate_remaining_permissions' is not set.

I am not sure if it should be the circulation permission.
I think borrowers or a new sub permission to borrowers would make sense. It already has a sub permission now for viewing other libraries patrons.

I reckon we need to do something about this.

Personally, I think a circ desk clerk could look up a patron and check out to them, but I don't think they need to know the circulation history for that patron (at least in some library environments).

Note that "Checkout history" doesn't fully work with "viewing other libraries patrons" (see bug 39429)
