[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [External] Re: Create item/call# records without permissions

Wed Nov 20 15:15:08 EST 2019

Thanks Jordan and Remington for the feedback!

I updated the bug<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1853062> to say we do grant UPDATE_VOLUME and UPDATE_COPY to Circulators and we may have to reconsider that choice under the circumstances. This bug gives much food for thought and discussion. We are planning to do a conference proposal to talk about our patron and staff permission changes, so I hope to meet you then, Jordan! 😊

Regards,

April

Jordan,

A quick glance at the code seems to support your general theory.  I don’t see any references to CREATE_VOLUME or CREATE_COPY in the perl code (except in the serials code), but I see several references to UPDATE_VOLUME and UPDATE_COPY.  I’ll add some initial details to the LaunchPad bug, in hopes that someone else can take it further.

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

Hi all,

I wanted to ask for feedback on an issue we recently uncovered. We recently upgraded from Evergreen 3.1 to 3.3 and implemented a complete revamp of our permission structure to include a strict requirement that anyone who creates/deletes items or bibs must pass cataloging assessments. However, we have found that staff can create new volume/call# and item records with only the permissions granted to Circulator, which do not include CREATE_VOLUME or CREATE_COPY. These should be the permissions checked before Evergreen permits a user to create a new item or call# record, right? I don't see any other permissions that should supersede those, but am I missing something?

I created a bug with links to our permissions list and examples from two different test databases (running 3.1 and 3.3) where I was able to create new holdings without having CREATE_VOLUME or CREATE_COPY permissions: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1853062<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bugs.launchpad.net_evergreen_-2Bbug_1853062&d=DwMFaQ&c=4rZ6NPIETe-LE5i2KBR4rw&r=XMUuJ_zlJ9I1qg9tP7WLhw&m=8hl_Ba67bZH8FiUiAV2KnP4_cX8Ke5fe1Boy_7Z3qTE&s=1DAEXsj124YDiDWFGKfS8L6y4A0J-lmY40r1cM9xtJQ&e=>

Any testing/feedback/confirmation that anyone is willing to provide would be most welcome.

Thanks!

April
