Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2025-07-22 19:53:02 UTC
Under the Cash Management section of user permissions (only visible if registers are enabled), there is a sub-permission: 

"Perform anonymous refund actions (anonymous_refund)"

This description is ambiguous about where the anonymity exists in the transaction. 

It seems more clear to say  "Perform refund actions related to Point of Sale transactions" -- POS is the only place in Koha where there are transactions without an associated borrowernumber.

To test:
1 - apply patch
2 - make sure registers are enabled in system preferences so the permission shows
3 - find a patron, set permissions
4 - confirm the permission reads "Pefform refunds of point of sale transactions."

Per the manual: "This permission gives the ability to refund payments done through the point of sale from the cash register transaction history."
