http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4426 Summary: Syspref to set the default privacy level of patrons Product: Koha Version: HEAD Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Patrons AssignedTo: gmcharlt@gmail.com ReportedBy: magnus@enger.priv.no Depends on: 3881 Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: --- In the proposed patch for bug 3881 "No Page for Opac Privacy", the default privacy level of borrowers is set to 1: # borrower reading record privacy : 0 : forever, 1 : laws, 2 : don't keep at all $dbh->do("ALTER TABLE `borrowers` ADD `privacy` INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1;"); Bug: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3881 Patch: http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2009-December/004973.html At least in Norway, libraries are required by law to have what is in effect privacy level 2 as the default, ie information about returned loans should be deleted/anonymized immediately on return, unless the patron has asked for the information to be retained. With a default privacy level of 1, this could of course be implemented by running an anonymization-task frequently, but it strikes me as more elegant and less prone to errors to make it possible to set the default privacy to the desired level with a syspref. This enhancement would necessitate a reworking of how the default is set, since it is set at the database level in the proposed patch. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
