--- Comment #10 from David Cook <[email protected]> ---
Thinking about where we'd need to update...

I think ultimately a user's permissions get returned by "getuserflags" in
C4/Auth.pm. The flags are used in "get_authz_from_flags" in
Koha/Auth/Permissions.pm to the "CAN_user_$module_$subperm" mappings, and
"haspermission" in C4/Auth.pm checks $flagsrequired (e.g. { self_check =>
'self_checkin_module' } ) against $flags from "getuserflags". 

--

I actually have a user audit tool in my local Koha that shows you a
table/matrix of your users and their permissions, and that also uses
C4::Auth::getuserflags() to get a user's permissions, so that would dovetail
well too...

--

In theory, adding a simple role-based permission model might actually not be
too hard on the backend...

Looking at ./members/member-flags.pl it seems that the permissions shown are
derived more directly from the DB, so that's good. That said, I think we'd want
a way to show patrons their "effective permissions" too. 

In the end, I think the UI/UX is probably going to be the hardest part of this
change actually.
