Description Christopher Brannon 2016-05-31 21:55:37 UTC
It would appear that patron categories are limited, even to superlibrarians, if there are branch limitations set.  The superlibrarian should not have such a limitation.

To test:
1) Set a patron category to be used by only 1 branch.
2) Logged in as a superlibrarian, have your library set to that branch.
3) Create a new patron.
4) Check that the limited category shows in the Category field.
5) Still logged in as the superlibrarian, change your library to another branch.
6) Create a new patron.
7) Confirm that you can no longer use that limited patron category in the Category field.

I am not sure about this one. It would allow super librarians to create patrons that have invalid combinations of library and patron category without noticing. 

I think this is probably a WONTFIX, but please reopen if you disagree strongly.
