<p class="MsoNormal">All –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Ok. I’m new but I am seeing some weird things and I am not sure if this is how the system works, or if there is something I am missing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> We are on 2.6.1 in case that matters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> So, as I understand it, you can set group permissions and assign a bunch of people to that profile (group) and they all have certain rights to do certain things. I thought that maybe the user permissions were then available in case
you might have one user or two in a group to ADD or DELETE certain permissions. Is that not the case? We might like to have maybe student workers all be “circulators” but one or two are given special permissions to work with cataloging or serials or such.
Am I understanding this correctly? If we wanted to assign a “circulator” special elevated user permission for updating item records, I should be able to go into their patron record, open the user permission editor and assign them update_item_record (or
some such). Right? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, the problem is that we are trying to do something like that for several different pre-assigned groups and it is not working. For the “volunteer” group for instance. I have assigned several users in our system to that profile, but
one or two need modifications. When I go to that patron record, into the user permission editor, everything is greyed out and it won’t let me change anything. One or two permissions listed there I would like to remove (like Admin Toolbar! What? For volunteers?)
or even change the level at which they have permission. Nope. No dice. And where is that admin toolbar thing set anyway? Who gave volunteers that permission? It is not listed in the group permissions editor. (they can also see and edit the Library
Settings!)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> So, why can I change some user permissions for patrons (I am having no trouble with our “catalogers”), but others are all
<span style="color:#1F497D">sort of fuzzed</span> out and won’t let me add or delete anything in the user permission editor. <span style="color:#1F497D">I can check a box and click save but nothing happens.</span> Do I have to start all over and just create
all new groups first?? (and I AM the admin and logged in as such when trying all of this)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Thanks for any insights you have. <o:p></o:p></p>
