Batch Patron Permissions Modifier Plugin

by Donna Bachowski on Mar 9, 2023

The Batch Patron Permissions Modifier is a handy plugin that helps you manage permissions for groups of staff.

There are three elements to it:

1. Get the plugin from ByWater Solutions' github site: Batch Permissions Modifier

2. Create a template patron and patron list

3. Configure/run the plugin

The plugin needs the borrowernumber of the template or example patron, the id from the patron list that contains all the staff you want to have the same permissions, and then you just map them together.

For instance, my template patron borrower number is 579, and my patron list id is 12, so in the plugin configuration, I would map 579: 12 and then run the plugin choosing the template patron and the list.

Remember that if you want to change the permissions for someone on the patron list, you will need to remove them from the list and then change their permissions.
