IRC Log on this topic:
[08:57] <nengard> i'm logged in a superlibrarian
[08:58] <nengard> i'll go ahead and try with only the edit permissions
[09:00] <oleonard> Hmmm, no I see the batchedit permission in my database
[09:00] <nengard> i don't have that either - but the patch doesn't say it adds
a new permission
[09:00] <oleonard> ...and it's checked in my permissions setup
[09:00] <nengard> oh
[09:00] <nengard> under what?
[09:01] <oleonard> At first I thought it would be under cataloging, but it's
under tools
[09:01] <nengard> under tools i have items_batchmod
[09:01] <nengard> but not batchedit
[09:02] <oleonard> I ought to trash this database and start over... I'm not
good about keeping it "clean" when testing
[09:03] <nengard> :)
[09:03] <nengard> paul_p can you take a look at questions on bug 5725

PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED, Batch modifications for Biblios
[09:03] <kf> only a thought: but do we need different permissions for
items_batchedit and biblio_batchedit?
[09:05] <nengard> i think we do
[09:05] <nengard> but right now we don't have one
[09:05] <nengard> i'd argue that if you're allowed to edit the catalog then
you should be able to do batch edits ... but others might disagree
[09:06] * oleonard does
[09:06] <oleonard> A batch edit is potentially much more destructive
[09:06] <oleonard> No reason not to include a separate permission and let the
supervisor decide.
[09:10] <oleonard> nengard: I'll bet the batchedit permission didn't make it
into the patch because of the way rangi is putting together the patches
[09:11] <oleonard> He probably didn't cherry-pick that part (if cherry pick is
the right word here)
[09:11] <nengard> so there is a permission in another patch?
[09:13] <oleonard> Yes, I see it in the original Biblibre branch
[09:13] <oleonard> That must be why I have it... messy database.
[09:13] <oleonard> But that doesn't explain why it didn't work for me even
though that permission was there
[09:21] <oleonard> It seems strange that someone could have batch edit
permission and not catalog edit permission
[09:30] <sekjal> I'd agree that if you can edit in batch, you should be able
to edit individually
[09:34] <kf> so it should be grouped into the cataloging rights?
[09:37] <oleonard> How deep can the permissions hierarchy go? Right now we
only have two levels
[09:38] <oleonard> Theoretically you'd want "batchedit" to be a sub-permission
of "edit_catalogue" (not "editcatalog," the parent category)
[09:39] <kf> oleonard: perhaps even the batch item delete/modify should moved
to cataloging?
[09:39] <kf> i think they are under tools, because we have no cataloging start
page?
[09:39] <paul_p> nengard, seen you msg. Could you drop me a mail pls, i'll
forget...
[09:39] <nengard> okey dokey
[09:40] <oleonard> kf: I think so. I think that grouping reflects where to
find the tool in Koha, but really the permissions should reflect roles
[09:40] <kf> hm. I think we only have kind of a start page for circ and tools?
[09:40] <kf> perhaps we should think about that too - tools gets crowdy
[09:40] <kf> crowded?
[09:40] <oleonard> Crowded.
[09:40] <nengard> I don't mind where the batch edit is located - it is a tool
- but the permissions should be in the logical spots
