Description Kelly McElligott 2020-03-28 12:03:09 UTC

If a staff has the permission has only the permission in Cataloging to "Edit Items" currently, they can't edit items attached to a Fast Add bib.  

What should the change be?  

Does a staff member need to have Fast Cataloging and Edit Items to be able to Edit Items attached to a Fast Added Bib?  And if that is the case, the bug lies with the fact the staff member doesn't know that this bib is a Fast Add bib-  the Edit option should not be visible to staff that only have "edit items" and not "Fast Cataloging"


Or 

Is it a library's understanding that the permission "Edit Items" allows All Items can be edited even the items attached to Fast Add Biblios? And if that is the case, then the change lies with how the permissions are coded in Koha.

Working with a specific library that stumbled upon this bug, they feel that the staff member with edit Items permission should be able to edit any items.

Still true on master as of 7/2/21. This is not correct. Someone with Edit Items should be able to edit items on a Fast Add bib regardless of whether or not they have fast_cataloging permission.

This has cropped up for us recently as well. I think our libraries were also expecting that edit_items wouldn't be blocked by an unchecked fast_cataloguing permission.

However, you can still edit these blocked items if you use the batch modification feature on the record.
