10589 allows changing the scope of OpacHiddenItems based on Patron Category. For example, one category (let’s say cataloger) could search for hidden items in OPAC for just their branch, while another category (let’s say staff) could search for hidden items in OPAC across all branches, while another category (let’s say patrons) wouldn’t see any of the hidden items. This is configurable via two new system preferences PatronSingleBranch and PatronEveryBranch.
Could you describe the use case that is motivating the proposed feature? Collections that are hidden to some patrons but not all seems an uncommon scenario.
I can think of some: * teachers can see some documents that students can't * "internal" searchers can see some confidential documents, that "external" patrons can't Overall, in public libraries, it's probably a rare situation, while in an academic one, it's more common. We've at least one library that would love this feature ;-) PS: it does not mean I endorse the patch by any mean : I haven't looked at it at all.
