https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40588 Bug ID: 40588 Summary: Clarify impact of edit_any_item permission when no library groups are defined Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20256#c342 Per discussion on Bug 20256, the intended behavior is that when no library groups are defined a user with edit_items but not edit_any_item should only be able to edit items with a homebranch matching the user's logged in branch. Koha's doing this successfully, but the permissions and manual aren't clear about what the user should expext. The edit_items permission says: "Edit items (not including items restricted by library group) (edit_items)" The edit_any_item permissions says "Edit any item including items that would otherwise be restricted" The manual says of edit_any_item "This permission grants the ability to edit items belonging to libraries from other library groups." Together, these imply the assumption that item edits are unrestricted *unless* one defines library groups with the "Limit item edits" option set. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
