Currently staff with permission to the staff interface (catalogue) automatically have access to create lists. The only permissions that currently exist for staff are delete and edit. Delete public lists (delete_public_lists) Edit public lists contents (edit_public_list_contents) Edit public lists (Name, settings, and permissions, but not explicitly contents) (edit_public_lists) It would be beneficial to add a permission to "create public lists" ensure that staff just can't create unnecessary visible public lists.
We would also be interested in this. As an academic library we have a large number of student workers on our staff and are concerned about them accidentally creating lists that will appear on the OPAC.
Is this officially done? As of our 24.11.02 Koha I am seeing new permissions available for Create public lists (create_public_lists) and Use public lists (use_public_lists), although they are not mentioned in the Koha manual. In digging through bugs I think these come from recent work on bug 13888. Can our bug here be closed? I also noticed bug 35400, also desiring a create public list permission, that can probably be closed as well.
I'm confused about this bug... It looks to me like a "Create public lists" permission has existed since at least Bug 14391.
I am not sure of the history, but we did not have an explicit "create public lists" permission available until this past upgrade. We only saw the 3 permissions described in the original post.

I just glanced at Bug 14391 and couldn't see anything there, but didn't have a thorough look. It looks like this bug is a duplicate of bug 13888 which added create_public_lists in 24.11.00. Looks like it hasn't been backported. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 13888 ***
