Description George Williams (NEKLS) 2019-12-09 20:51:03 UTC
Currently if a staff member does not have edit_borrowers permission, and HidePersonalPatronDetailOnCirculation is set to hide, that staff member cannot see patron contact information on moremember.pl.  However, they can still see contact information in the search results on circulation.pl if the columns are configured to show address and phone number information.

Staff members without edit_borrowers permission should be blocked from seeing the address and phone number columns on circulation.pl without having to disable those columns for staff who do have edit_borrowers permission.

I am not sure I agree on this being tied to the edit permission. Having a separate permission about being able to 'view' patron information might provide a better solution long term.
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2023-12-31 11:01:39 UTC
I believe this bug is no longer valid as we removed the separate patron list from circulation search and always use the normal patron search now.
