Okay, right off the bat, let me make this clear.  I am not asking for staff to
control whether they can see patron history.  What I am asking is for a setting
to allow staff to set the privacy setting for the patron.

We have need for our homebound patrons to retain history so that the check for
previous checkouts works.  Some, if not most, of the homebound patrons may not
be tech savvy enough to go into their account and turn this on.

We can default the homebound patron to retain this setting, but we have no way
within the patron account to flip the switch for existing patrons.

I am pretty sure this was by design.

If it is of concern, a compromise might be to have a "Request to turn on
history" email sent to the patron, in which they can click a link to confirm
consent.  Maybe also a reject, in which the link to request in the patron
account would show the date the request was last rejected.  Staff would have
the option to request again, and if rejected again, the date would be updated.

Thoughts?
