[Bug 35914] New: Add permission for changing a user password
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35914 Bug ID: 35914 Summary: Add permission for changing a user password Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 23.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: bwsdonna@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com There are situations where libraries do not want staff to be able to change a patron's password using the Change Password button but there is currently no way to split out permission to block this. You have to turn off the ability to view/edit all patron info which is also not helpful. Some libraries prefer that staff either send a password reset email, or direct patrons to the OPAC to reset a password. It would be a great enhancement to add a subpermission to BORROWERS to allow/disallow the ability for staff to change a patron password. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

We restrict editing borrower information like address, phone number, etc. to Circ staff only as we were having some inconsistencies with how people were doing this with our last ILS which affected our usage statistics and consequently our funding formula (we're regional so we get funding from 3 different jurisdictions which is determined by circulation of the patrons in each so if someone puts an incorrect jurisdiction in by accident or doesn't check for the correct verification, it will create inconsistencies which happened in the past which is why the permission is restricted). However, because we have self checkouts throughout the library, when users hit a PIN/password block on these, they have to go to the Circ desk to update this rather than the closest service point, and librarians at these other points are reporting that people are frustrated they have to go to Circ and cannot get the PIN/password updated anywhere so they don't end up checking out the books they wanted. So, having only this function available to more librarians would be very helpful. Has there been any movement on it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
