Bug ID: 39453
Summary: Add attribute type settings for restricting access to
extended attributes
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: Main
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Patrons

This patch introduces a "readonly", "secret" and "hidden" setting for patron
attribute types. All restrictions enforced by these new settings are not
applied for superlibrarians, where attributes behave as if they have not been
set.
Readonly make the attributes of this type readonly, they appear on the patrons
details page and when editing a patron, but their values can't be changed.
Hidden attributes are not visible on the patrons details page or when editing a
patron, but can for example be used internally. Secret attributes are basically
the same thing as hidden, but the appear with their value masked in the patrons
details page, and could be used for sensitive data not all staff members should
have access to.
One use case (at our library) is to emulate a role based access control by
having a number of reserved users as templates for roles. We then have a number
of hidden attributes mapping users to these "roles", and a script running
nightly that assigns permissions based on this mapping.
