[Koha] Different levels of access for Koha OPAC users

[Michael Lake]

Hi all,

Now that I have been playing with Koha for a month or so I'm now putting 
together a formal proposal for the society that I'm a member of to use 
Koha.

We have a few thousand items that will be placed in the catalog and we 
would like to make the OPAC available on our web site. However some 
items would be of great value to book collectors. Publishing this info 
on the web would mean that someone with contacts could make a nice 
shopping list and clean us out one night.

Just as there is a 'checkbox' for catalog items that are 'not 
reservable' how much code would be required to have a checkbox 'not for 
web publication'? Or a drop down box that one can use to limit the 
search availability to specific levels users.

I would envisage having more than one user in the koha users table; say 
guest user, member, library user and then the usual admin user with 
increasing access in that order. Guests can't see items that are flagged 
as accessable to member and above.

Does anyone else have this need or is it possible to do this already in 
Koha. (I see on this list there are probs with Apache::Registry )

Mike
