[Evergreen-general] patron permission groups

[Jennifer Pringle]

Hello Diane,

Yes, you should be able to customize what permission groups show up in  
the Main Permission Profile Group drop down in the patron record using  
the Permission Tree Display Entries feature (Administration -> Local  
Administration -> Permission Tree Display Entries)

I couldn't find docs on this in the current documentation but the ones  
from 3.2 look the same as what we see in 3.7 -  
https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/3.2/_client_2.html

Permission groups that can't be seen can't be granted to users so  
you'll want to think about what staff permission groups should show to  
library staff with the patron groups.

This feature only affects the drop down in the patron record.  The  
patron search still uses the whole list -  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1812675

Hope this helps,

Jennifer
