From bug 3591 Right now, if AllowStaffToSetCheckoutsVisibilityForGuarantor or AllowPatronToSetCheckoutsVisibilityForGuarantor is set and the patron has consented to show their checkouts to their guarantor, the guarantor can see their guarantee's checkouts when logging into their own account in the OPAC. However, if they want to renew their guarantee's checkouts, they must log out and log in as their guarantee (or nag them if they don't have access). It would be great if the guarantor could renew from their own account. It could be the same as AllowStaff/PatronToSetCheckoutsVisibilityForGuarantor in the sense that the guarantee would have to "agree" to it to preserve confidentiality for older guarantees. (The use case I'm seeing the most is a family with small children, where the parent could renew all their family's checkouts from their own account.)
We could have a section in the patron form for all these things, something like Guarantor access Checkouts [ ] View [ ] Renew Fines [ ] View Holds [ ] View [ ] Suspend [ ] Cancel etc.
This feature would be great for families. Allowing the guarantor to renew checkouts for everyone in one go would make things much easier and save a lot of time for our users.
