Hi all, On Bugzilla report 18228 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18228 I have proposed to merge the currently separated Add and Delete permission for entries on a list into a new Change permission. This BZ attachment https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=60943 shows you the new options: Change is allowed for Nobody (readonly), Owner only, or Anyone seeing the list. Owen suggested to hide the "Anyone seeing the list" option for private lists. As a plea in favor of the new design, I would add that (apart from simplifying something that confused people) we could see the list as a document containing lines. If we allow someone to change the document, he is able to add and delete lines. In Koha we are actually not interested in who added a line (entry to the list). The information is saved but only used in context of the old permission scheme. We follow a similar principle with e.g. biblios or patrons: if we have edit/modify/change permission, we can add and delete a biblio, a patron, etc. So, my main question is now: Would you consider this as a welcome simplification or as feature loss? Are you heavily leaning on the separation of add and delete permissions? If you can add a response on the Bugzilla report, please do. Otherwise reply to the list. Thanks, Marcel
Appreciate any feedback. Or we should just guess what is best for you :) Marcel ________________________________ Van: Marcel de Rooy Verzonden: dinsdag 11 april 2017 16:57 Aan: Koha ML Onderwerp: Need feedback on lists (virtual shelves) permissions Hi all, On Bugzilla report 18228 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18228 I have proposed to merge the currently separated Add and Delete permission for entries on a list into a new Change permission.
