[Koha] using self checkout

[Nicole Engard]

Jochum,

There is a known bug with this feature - I say known and yet I cannot
find the bug report that I know I submitted.  While the user is only
supposed to need Circ & Catalog permissions, it actually will only
allow the admin librarian to use this tool.  I'll keep looking for the
bug and let you know.
