We use 3.20.

I've tested an account with the same permissions on our server and it is the
same- you can't waive fines but you can collect them. So, the initial problem
reported is no longer the issue... but I would say there's still an issue here,
which is that the relationship between the borrowers permission and the ability
to collect charges isn't really documented anywhere or made obvious by making
the fines subpermissions of the borrowers permission.

I'd also argue that the ability to edit patron records should probably be made
a sub-permission of borrowers as well, so that view and edit are different, but
likely a separate ticket.
