Description Aleisha Amohia 2022-07-24 23:24:32 UTC
When importing patrons, you can match on cardnumber or username, then preserve/protect selected fields if there's a match.

However it doesn't appear that user permissions are protected if there is a match - these get reset/wiped.

There should be an option to protect user permissions if a match is found.

Hi Aleisha, 

I am not sure which version it was added in, but there is now a feature to preserve values on import that includes "System permissions" (flags). You can find it on the patron import page collapsed as "Preserve existing values".

I think this should work or would be a bug otherwise - do you agree?

Yes that sounds good! Will close this
