Description Jessie Zairo 2023-11-17 12:57:10 UTC
This enhancement to permissions for cataloging would allow library staff to add brief bibs (less than full MARC cataloging) and attach items without allowing them to edit full MARC bibs and without involving the name authority file.

1 - Add a new field/value/permission for users - 'Cataloging level'
2 - Save this cataloging level in the DB when a user adds/edits/updates a  bibliographic record
3 - If a record is saved with a higher level than the current user, the user will not be able to edit the bibliographic record
4 - Add to the details page an input/dropdown to allow adjusting the current level for a record - users will only be able to adjust the level to their current level or below
5 - When editing a record, a user of a higher level will have the option to save at their level, or retain the current level
6 - Cataloging levels will be reportable in the Koha reports module
7 - Cataloging levels will be visible on the record  details page
8 - An interface will be provided for defining the allowed cataloging levels,  allowing to specify as many levels as are needed and make it simple to assign these to a patron [i.e. Staff member].
