I like the idea that the Anonymous Patron cannot be deleted, but I think that this implementation is too narrowly cast.

I think that we should consider doing Bug 26170 (Create "system" patrons that cannot be (easily) deleted via the web UI) instead of this one, since there are many scenarios where we don't want to be able to delete patron accounts that are important (e.g. SIP patron, REST API patron, etc.)

Admittedly, I don't have any patches on Bug 26170, and it's not high on my priority list at the moment, so I don't see myself working on it any time soon.

Kyle has done all this great work, and really if it could be adapted to be more generalizable for all kinds of "system" patrons, that would be amazing. It would be a very useful development.

I was actually discussing that as the 'next step' after this development. We could easily add a 'read-only' flag to a given account and move the AnonymousPatron logic into a a new Patron method like is_deletable. This would be especially useful for accounts used for SIP, APIs, and so forth. I would consider this to be a building block for bug 26170. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
