[Koha] questions on spine labels, permissions, & virtual shelves

[Library]

hai,
i think you have to set atleast following permissions to the students if 
you want to work with them,never give them the add/modify/create memeber.
 

 View Catalogue (Librarian Interface)
 parameters
 Edit Catalogue (Modify bibliographic/holdings data)

these are the minimum required Tags to enter the data ,but i think there 
should be the permission to enter the data without playing with 
parameters.no one enter the data if parameter permission is not with 
him.


Thanks
