I could be wrong about this, and please somebody correct me if I am, but I 
think permissions are inherited from the group's parents. So you can give 
certain types of patrons additional permissions, but you can't take away 
permissions they've inherited from a higher level group. Sounds to me like you 
need to give all PATRONs system level permission and then grant the additional 
consortial level permissions to the subgroups that should have them. Can 
someone else more knowledgeable confirm or deny this?

I have a core group of permissions set for the PATRON at the consortium level . 
Under PATRON are several patron types. However , we have one group of patrons 
that can only pla ce holds on items owned by one particular system. I changed 
their permissions at the group level, adding MR_HOLDS and TITLE_HOLDS at the 
system level. However, when I look at one of these patrons in Edit User 
Permissions, I see those two permissions are still set for the consortium level 
instead of system level. 

Any clues? 

Thanks, 

Catherine.
