https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27395 Bug ID: 27395 Summary: Add warning to PatronSelfRegistrationDefaultCategory to avoid accidental patron deletion Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Keywords: Academy Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: System Administration Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com If you have set up the cronjobs for deleting unverified and "unfinished" opac self registrations, a wrong setting in the PatronSelfRegistrationDefaultCategory system preference can lead to accidental deletion of a lot of your patrons. This will happen if you enter one of your regular patron category codes instead of using a specific one for self registrations. It will then delete all patrons that have registere more than PatronSelfRegistrationExpireTemporaryAccountsDelay days ago. This is also a complete deletion, not moving the data to deletedborrowers, making it even harder to fix the mistake. I think it would be great to add a hint or warning about this to the system preference description. It currently reads: Use the patron category code ____ as the default patron category for patrons registered via the OPAC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
