Does the local sys admin have the permissions to create and edit the
particular profiles to which the problematic staff belong? For example,
just grabbing a few entries returned from the following SQL query:

SELECT code FROM permission.perm_list WHERE code ~ 'group_application';

group_application.user.staff.acq
group_application.user.staff.circ
group_application.user.staff.admin.local_admin

If you don't have the "staff.circ" permission, then you won't have the
ability to create, remove, or edit user accounts that have a profile of
Circulator.

These are permissions that you should be able to grant to users through
the normal user permission editor interface, or directly in the database
if you prefer that.
