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.

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
