Hi Thanks to all who answered my e-mail concerning patron permissions! Raymund Delahunty, Owen Leonard, David Nind, Joel Coehoorn, Michael Sutherland and Katrin Fischer! I have saved all the information you gave me for other uses cases. But in our current library we are hesitating to use non-Koha-standard methods like external Javascript or plugins. Since we don't need to copy patron permissions very often we will wait until Koha implements a proper way to copy patron permissions, e. g. according to https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30623 For the cases when we actually need to copy patron permissions, for us the following way seems to be the easiest (instead of manual "box ticking") : 1. Find the cardnumber (here: 25) of a patron which has the desired patron permissions, then search for the patron permissions of this patron: SELECT flags FROM borrowers WHERE cardnumber=25; 2. The result will show the number associated with the staff member’s permissions, for example: +-------+ | flags | +-------+ | 16900 | +-------+ 3. Then update the field "flags" of another patron (here with cardnumber 26) which should receive the same patron permissions: UPDATE borrowers SET flags=16900 WHERE cardnumber=26; I have tested this successfully on my demo installation.
