[Evergreen-catalogers] 3.8 UPDATE_COPY permission and system wide shared shelving locations

[Lindsay Stratton]

Hi Elaine, et all,

Just to clarify, the problem is not editing the locations themselves, it's
editing item records.

When editing or creating an item record in the Holdings Editor (angular and
pre-angular), the shared locations are not available in the Location
selection list unless their UPDATE_COPY permission is set to 0. Staff could
only see locations if they were owned by their workstation library.
