--- Comment #2 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
Choosing the top level flag is the same thing as selecting all sub-permissions.
If you go to "Check out and check in items", choose all the sub-permissions and
you'll see that the top level flag gets set. (Alternatively, if you just choose
the top level flag, it will set all the sub-permissions. Uncheck one
sub-permission, and you the top level flag is unchecked.)

If you go to
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/page.cgi?id=splinter.html&bug=31389&attachment=140563
and look at "Permissions.t", it might be clearer.

You get CAN_user_circulate if you're superlibrarian, if you have the top level
"circulate" permission, or if you have *any* circulation sub-permission. 

When you just set "circulate" without specifying individual subpermissions, it
automatically gives you all sub-permissions. 

So setting the "manage_recalls" sub-permission is functionally equivalent to
setting the "recalls" top level flag, since there is only . You'll get the
exact same authorization.

I hope that makes sense.
