It could be useful to assign default permissions by patron category. (This was
pointed out to me by a librarian who had similar functionality in a previous
system.)

Alternatively, I suppose we could create "permission profiles" and assign those
at patron creation time I suppose.

The idea being that you set up permissions for certain staff categories (like
cataloguing or circulation) and then the staff automatically have their
permissions set up and don't require you to manually check all the right
checkboxes on a per-user basis. 

(I suppose role/group-based authorization would cut down even further on having
to manually manage so many permissions...although this probably more of a
problem for large libraries than small libraries...)
