I think it's by design that you can't delete users of the staff category as they could fall easily into 'inactive' - only being used for working in Koha, but having no checkouts. An easy workaround here might be to set Library to be non-staff - how are you using this category? We usually only use staff for users with permissions to access the staff interface. We brought over dozens of patrons used for issuing books "in transit" between our multiple sites, as we had problems with our former LMS workflows for in-transit functionality. We set them to be their own user category, and assigned the STAFF category code. (Am pretty sure we have a set of "Repairs" users with the category/category type being Library/Staff.). In post-migration clean-up we are deleting the old-LMS workaround patrons, and stumbled across this issue. Not a major drama as library staff can simply alter the category type and kill off the obsolete user. |
