[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] permissions and editing patron records

[Lindsay Stratton]

You might need to set the Working Location - within the staff client open the Admin menu, select User Permission Editor. This links the staff account to permissions defined by org unit, in addition to the permissions defined by profile group.

> Hi Evergreen Community,

> I have a noobish question/problem about permissions that I'm sure has
> an easy answer:

> We have a Volunteer login for the staff client that is limited in its
> permissions. One thing it currently cannot do is edit patron info
> using the Edit tab in the patron record pages.

> We are trying to allow this account to save edits to patron records
> but I cannot seem to make this work (the save buttons are disabled).
> I have tried giving the account the CREATE_USER and UPDATE_USER
> permissions, with the editing permission level set to staff or
> patron-level (and then running autogen), but this doesn't do it. The
> volunteer account can only save changes to its own patron record,
> not anyone else's.

> What am I missing here? What has to be enabled to allow saving
> changes to other patron records? We are running Evergreen 2.1.

> Many Thanks,
