Can't delete patron record
I am running Koha v3.06.02.003 and have successfully migrated my old database from 3.00.00.107 to this newer Koha instance. I can add new patron records through the Staff Interface as user kohaadmin but when I attempt to delete any patron records (old or new) via the Patron Details -> More button -> Delete, the Delete menu item is grayed out (disabled). Is there something I first need to enable before I can delete patron records or this a bug in Koha? The kohaadmin user in MySQL has full database privileges. Also, how can I upgrade my Koha 3.6.2 to the latest build of 3.6.3 without database loss? Can I simply re-run the Web Installer to do an in-place upgrade or do I have to press the 'Big Red Do-Over' button ;-) Thanks!

I've found a work-around solution for the disabled 'Delete' menu item. It is only disabled on the Details tab and the Fines tab. You can delete a patron from the following other tabs: Checkout, Notices, and Circulation History. Also, I found that I can right-click on the disabled Delete menu item from the Details tab and choose 'Inspect element' then edit the HTML code that disables the menu item so that the Delete menu item becomes visible, however, the patron record is not deleted and the Koha software restores the original HTML when you refresh the page. I'd still like to know if there is a simple fix/patch for this without having to upgrade (or downgrade) the Koha software.

Hmm... that sounds like a bug. Perhaps you can create a bug report at bugs.koha-community.org for this. It sounds like permissions are not being enforced properly. Kind Regards, Chris
