We are interested at some point in a development that would hide the "Edit items in batch"; "Delete items in batch"; and "Delete all items" options in the Edit menu of the detail.pl page through either a user permission or a system preference. It was suggested I contact the developers list to see what community developers think about this as a permission vs system preference.

In our consortial environment, these are not good features to have available to anyone. Right now we have these options hidden through some hardcoding, but of course this has to be added manually after every upgrade by our support vendor.

Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
