Description Donna 2024-01-25 20:36:14 UTC
There are situations where libraries do not want staff to be able to change a patron's password using the Change Password button but there is currently no way to split out permission to block this.  You have to turn off the ability to view/edit all patron info which is also not helpful.

Some libraries prefer that staff either send a password reset email, or direct patrons to the OPAC to reset a password.

It would be a great enhancement to add a subpermission to BORROWERS to allow/disallow the ability for staff to change a patron password.
