[Bug 29247] New: Enable staff to see whether a patron has a password or not
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29247 Bug ID: 29247 Summary: Enable staff to see whether a patron has a password or not Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: alexander.borkowski@kau.se QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com In the staff client at members/moremember.pl, a patron's password is always shown as a number of stars, even for patrons which do not have a password set. While there are provisions to handle unset passwords in koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/members/moremember.tt these are not effective. It is checked whether the patron.password field is false/empty or not. However, Koha::Patron::store always at least writes an exclamation mark in that field to mark the password invalid. So the field is never really empty, the condition being checked is always false, and hence the staff client never shows that a patron does not have a password set. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Our staff have requested to be able to see whether a patron has set a password or not. This is useful as it can happen that patrons have a patron record but not set a password yet. Staff can then advise the patron in this situation on how to set their password. I found that there are provisions in Koha's code already for showing whether a patron has a password set or not so but they are not working properly and I indicated the reason for that. So this is an issue for the current Koha code. Bug 24949 is a request for a new feature. And while I agree that being able to see the actual password might be very useful in some contexts (not in ours - that would never be permitted) to me it is a different issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
