--- Comment #3 from Barbara Johnson <barbara.johnson at bedfordtx.gov> ---
I originally signed off on this bug, but had some concerns so I revisited it
and changed the status to In Discussion.

1. A staff member who does not have edit permissions still sees the edit
button.  Clicking on the edit button takes them to a Koha login screen.  It
would be better if the staff member did not see the edit button at all if they
can't edit anything.

2. When a staff member that does not have bib editing permissions clicks on the
View button from manage-marc-import.pl they are taken to a view only display on
detail.pl which seems correct.  However, clicking on the Edit dropdown on this
screen gives them the ability to edit the record using a MARC mod template even
though they do not have the permission for editing these templates.  A staff
member with view only permissions should not be able to edit the bib record at
all. 

3. In discussing this issue with an expert cataloger she had the following to
say:
"I can't think of a single reason why I'd allow someone to load files without
any editing permissions, frankly--looking at a loaded file is a quality control
step, and if someone doesn't have the expertise to edit MARC (bib or aut), how
are they going to have the expertise to, e.g., troubleshoot something that
should have overlaid but didn't?"  Based on this comment it seems she would
question whether a view option is even needed.
