Description Nicole C. Engard 2011-05-27 18:59:33 UTC
Right now there is a preference to control if people from one library can edit things from another library, it would be nice if there was a permission (other than superlibrarian) that allowed certain staff members the ability to edit stuff from all libraries regardless of this preference's setting.
Comment 1 e-Libris Technologies 2012-08-24 18:18:08 UTC
I agree with Nicole. In multi-branch libraries there is often a technical services department which does most of the cataloging for all branches. I think it is too risky to give these staff members "superlibrarian" permissions just so they can do centralized cataloging.
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2018-05-17 22:17:09 UTC
We have several permissions that go into this direction right now:

- budget_manage_all
- order_manage_all
- view_borrower_infos_from_any_libraries
- superserials

I think 'stuff' is too general, we should identify other missing preferences instead.

Maybe we should close this in favor of other more specific bugs?
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2019-03-16 10:25:18 UTC
As this talks about cataloguing I think what was meant is something like 
edit_items_all.
