So the Patron Opt-In feature is a "keep the honest folk out" sort of
lock.  Some libraries tighten down their VIEW_USER permission depths
to create user silos, but I'm not sure how they get around the problem
of the Admin user, which usually has its home library set to the top
of the org hierarchy, and also usually gets credit for having
"created" bib records, etc.  Restricting the perm depth on VIEW_USER
would trip over display of the Admin user in some interfaces.

How do folks deal with that?
