Hi all, First of all, we are right now starting to migrate to Koha so I'm probably going to ask a lot of questions on this list in the coming weeks. Bear with me.
If you have low-level employees who perform basic circulation work—e.g. work study students, volunteers—how do you handle their account permissions? Do you have a shared internal account with a password you periodically change? Do you edit their patron account to add necessary permissions and then later revoke them? We're trying to find a scalable way to handle this. Editing a half-dozen or so patron accounts each semester doesn't seem wise to me. But internal accounts like this are weird too, because they're not "real" patrons. For instance, I'm filling in fake barcodes because they're required but this patron will never check anything out. Also, are is there no equivalent of user "roles" in Koha—sets of permissions I can quickly apply to an account? It's one thing if I can just add a student to a "work study" role and another if I have to click a bunch of checkboxes.
