But I am not sure if this would have > to be done in the backends then? Yes, I agree with this idea. But it's the backend who is responsible for attaching the borrowernumber to the illrequest. However, this does seem a bit redundant for the staff UI, i.e. if a staff member already has the ill permission, this check should not even be required (since ill permission needs to be assigned on a per user in the first place anyway). I suggest we restructure this bug's functionality to just apply to OPAC, since I also believe the original problem it's trying to solve is only on the OPAC anyway (prevent certain patron categories from being able to place requests to avoid costs/noise) > 3) Changed behaviour for existing installations > > As all categories are allowed to place ILL requests now, we should set "Can > place ILL requests?" to yes for all categories if the ILLModule is > activated. This way we won't break things for libraries and they can > implement the new feature if they chose to do so. Should we: 1) keep canplaceill default 0, and in atomicupdate set to 1 for every existing installation if ILLModule sys pref is enabled, or 2) change canplaceill default to 1, which means upon enabling ILLModule it just works for everyone and then let staff members untick the canplaceill checkbox for any given category. Please Katrin let me know what you think of the above, or if some of what I said doesn't make sense or is wrong.
