<div><span style="font-size:12pt">This feature is motived by privacy concerns. Certain countries do not like
certain materials which certain libraries may have. And though the general
recommendation is to not catalogue such things publicly, this is
counter-productive for patrons in remote locations who would have to waste days
to find out there is no useful books pertaining to their linguistic problems. By
requiring a log in, authorized patrons can then peruse what is generally not
visible to the public, or even to lesser authorized patrons. In this scenario,
one branch does not want anyone outside their branch to be able to view their
hidden materials, but in another case, one branch is willing to let authorized
people outside that particular branch see the hidden materials. All branches
want their public materials searchable by the public in general. By customizing
patron categories, we can accomplish this by lessening the filtering of the
OpacHiddenItems for the various scenarios.</span></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div>In your situation, what are the consequences if, either via bug or misconfiguration, catalog records meant for authorized users become publicly accessible?</div>
