Yes, you are right. To circumvent this problem it is necessary to do the following.

1. Find the borrowernumber (here: 11) of a patron which has the desired patron permissions, then search for the patron permissions of this patron:

 SELECT flags FROM borrowers WHERE borrowernumber=11;

2. The result will show the number associated with the staff member’s permissions, for example:

 +-------+
 | flags |
 +-------+
 | 16900 |
 +-------+

3. Then update the field "flags" of a new patron (here with borrowernumber 12) which currently has no permissions but which should receive the same top level permissions as the original patron:

 UPDATE borrowers SET flags=16900 WHERE borrowernumber=12;

4. Update the fields in table "user_permissions" of this patron (here with borrowernumber 12) which should also receive the same sub-permissions as the original patron (here with borrowernumber 11):

INSERT INTO user_permissions (borrowernumber, module_bit, code) SELECT 12, module_bit, code FROM user_permissions WHERE borrowernumber=11;

I have tested this successfully on my demo installation.

Best wishes: Michael
