Description Caroline Cyr La Rose 2026-02-13 16:52:20 UTC
In the current permissions, there's something that *really* bugs me : the mix of permissions that "allow" and permissions that "restrict".

I often create staff accounts as part of the set up we do for new clients and for non-superlibrarians catalogers, I always have to remember to check everything in cataloging EXCEPT that one annoying permission that restricts the subfields (SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedEditing).

I was wondering if it was possible to take this into account when revamping the permissions.
