--- Comment #7 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I think this is kind of a tricky question, because there is something like a
'grey area' between circulate and borrowers permissions.

If we assume:

borrowers
- add borrowers
- modify borrowers
- delete borrowers

circulate
- check-out
- check-in
- renew

It's not really clear, what the correct permission for "seeing patron
information" or "seeing checkouts and holds" really is.

I guess ideally there would be an option to circulate books for a borrower,
without seeing any patron information, just by scanning the cardnumber and
checking out. - but currently that's not really possible.

I think "borrowers" for seeing the holds and checkouts is a bit of a stretch,
but it seems like it was like that before, so it would be ok. I think it would
be a nice change to hide the checkboxes if you don't have "circulate" - would
that be possible?
