[OPEN-ILS-DEV] permissions question

[Karen Collier]

I could be wrong about this, and please somebody correct me if I am, but I think permissions are inherited from the group's parents. So you can give certain types of patrons additional permissions, but you can't take away permissions they've inherited from a higher level group. Sounds to me like you need to give all PATRONs system level permission and then grant the additional consortial level permissions to the subgroups that should have them. Can someone else more knowledgeable confirm or deny this?

I have a core group of permissions set for the PATRON at the consortium level . Under PATRON are several patron types. However , we have one group of patrons that can only pla ce holds on items owned by one particular system. I changed their permissions at the group level, adding MR_HOLDS and TITLE_HOLDS at the system level. However, when I look at one of these patrons in Edit User Permissions, I see those two permissions are still set for the consortium level instead of system level. 

Any clues? 

Thanks, 

Catherine.
