[Bug 14713] New: remaining_permissions permission under the "updatecharges" permission not working
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14713 Bug ID: 14713 Summary: remaining_permissions permission under the "updatecharges" permission not working Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Staff Client Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: amy@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com Partner reports that: One of our institutions would like students to be able to collect fines, but not waive fines. You would think selecting the "remaining_permissions" permission under the "updatecharges" permission would allow you to collect fines and fees without waiving them because "writeoff" fines and fees is a separate permission, but it is not. They can't write off any fines- which is what we want. The problem is, they can't collect fines either, and we do want them to be able to do that. We tested this and it seems to be true that even using the correct settings under this permission the student cannot collect fines, though they are prevented from waiving them as anticipated. On the student account permissions the remaining permissions is checked and write off is not selected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

We had the same issue and found out that in order for fine collection to work,
(borrowers) Add or modify patrons
permission must also be checked!
Can you please verify it? If so, this finding should could help the person who deals with the case identify the problem. If this is by design (although these permissions should work independently!), a note should be added in the relevant docs.
We can confirm that what Theodoros is saying about this bug is true. Enabling the ability to add or modify patrons allowed our staff members to write-off fines. I agree with Theodoros that these permissions should indeed be made wholly separate ideally, or documented if making them separate is a major project. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
