Koha Question of the Week: Who Can Delete a Patron List?

Each Friday, we will bring you a new Koha Question of the Week. We will select real questions that we receive and share the answers with you!

Question: Who Can Delete a Patron List?

Answer: Patron lists are a powerful tool for performing batch actions on a given group of library patrons, but functionality is a bit more limited when it comes to deleting those lists. Currently, only the owner of a list can delete it. If the staff account that created a patron list is deleted, the list(s) they created will also be deleted.

An enhancement request in the Koha community seeks to allow superlibrarian users to delete others' lists, but that is not current functionality.
