--- Comment #3 from Alexander Wagner <alexander.wagner at desy.de> ---
Indeed it would be nice to have something along the lines of unix-groups that
assign certain rights. E.g. I could define what cataloguers can do or the ILL
staff and then assign people to be cataloguer and/or ILL staff easily. Indeed,
I spent some time to fiddle out that this seems not to exist (yet). In view of
Bug 6223 also the term `roles` comes to mind.

The https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-batch-permissions-modifier
plugin Séverine mentioned goes in this direction indeed and populates
permissions from a template user to all users on a given patron list. It works
pretty well as far as I tested it, just in "auto" mode it seems not always to
trigger. (IOW I had to run it manually from time to time to propagate
permissions.) I'll have to check what happens if some user shows up in two
lists, though. It doesn't look like this is meant to be.

Configuration might get a bit ugly as one has to add template patrons and lists
to handle all set up by bare numbers.
