Hi Markus,

Permissions are stored in the tables 'permissions' and 'userflags'
For instance "tools" is a group of permissions (userflags.flag="tools" with a bit=13), and the permissions table will contain the subpermissions.

  select * from permissions where module_bit=13;
will give your the subpermissions for tools.

To use the script tools/modborrowers.pl (edit patrons in a batch) you will need the subpermission edit_patrons of the tools module. If you edit this file you will find the following line:
  flagsrequired   => { tools => "edit_patrons" }

The CAN_* flags in the template are set in C4::Auth
"CAN_user_tools" means all the "tools" subpermissions
CAN_user_tools_edit_patrons means the edit_patrons subpermission of the "tools" module.

Take a look at
  commit  f56d6530bc7ea00db0d2b158a8b2667d5ba16a41
  Bug 16978: Add delete reports user permission
it added the "reports => delete_reports" subpermission.

Good luck :)
Hope that makes sense!

Shifting this over to the development list.
As you are more likely to get an answer there.

If no one has answered by the time I get in front of a computer, I'll try :)

Dear Koha-Community,

i did not find any hint oder documentation, where the permissions for
using tools etc. are stored.

My example:
For testing purpose i want to insert my own perl-script into Koha and
it should appear on the "tools"-page.

The links on this page are shown to the user or not depending on the
permissions he has:
(tools-home.tt)

[% IF ( CAN_user_tools_manage_staged_marc ) %]
<dt><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/tools/bibliotheca_convert.pl">Bibliotheca-Datei
hochladen</a></dt>
<dd>Werkzeug um BIBLIOTHECAplus-Exportdatei für den Import hochzuladen</dd>
[% END %]

I can not find the place, where these rights are deposited. How does
Koha know if a certain right is existing?
I found the file permissions.inc but changes there did not having any effect.

Of cource i could use the permission
"CAN_user_tools_manage_staged_marc" for my own script (and then the
link is shown), but IMHO it would be not correct to "steal" the
permission of another script.

I would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint how to
introduce the permission to start my script to Koha.

Thank You very much in Advance,
Markus Becker
