--- Comment #3 from Barton Chittenden <barton at bywatersolutions.com> ---
I don't think that setting default permissions goes far enough -- this works
when a new patron is added, but it doesn't help when permissions need to be
added or changed across a group of existing patrons.

Perhaps we need to introduce the concept of "role" that encompasses a group of
permissions, which could be changed en-masse: 

borrower has a role
patron category has a default role
a role has many permissions
a role may be based off a parent role (when the parent changes, all permissions
not specified by the child will also change).

This would allow some independence between patron categories and groups of
permissions, while still allowing mass-insert and/or update of permissions as
necessary.
