Hey April,

Our consortium is currently in the process of overhauling our permissions
as well, using yall as a base.

After looking over it, I wonder if the UPDATE_COPY permission might the the
culprit here. It is the only permission in the Circulator group that looks
like it may be the cause outside of a bug. Unfortunately we haven't got as
far as setting up new groups for testing. Give it a shot and let me know as
this is definitely something to know since we are in a similar boat with
similar goals.

Thanks,
Jordan Woodard
