Hi,
That seems like the normal behaviour to me. The top checkbox is only
checked if all subpermissions are checked.
What is the challenge specifically? Which subpermission are you removing
and what is it that you want your staff to be able to do that they are
not able to if the top-level permission is not checked?

Hi.
What you are describing is the normal behavour when setting permissions:
1. Select "Checkout and check in items (circulate)"
2. All the sub-permissions are selected
3. Remove a sub-permission, for example, "Manage item bookings
(manage_bookings)"
4. The "Checkout and check in items (circulate)" is now not selected, but
all the sub-permissions (apart from manage_bookings) are selected
5. Subject to other permissions (such as Add, modify and view patron
information (borrowers)) the patron can check in and check out items (for
example)
I don't know enough about setting permissions in real life, so will leave
it up to others to respond to your other questions.

Dear Koha Support Team,
I hope you are well.
I am currently experiencing a challenge in Koha 24 under *Set Permissions*,
specifically within the *Circulation rights* section.
When assigning circulation permissions to a staff member, I have noticed
that if I uncheck certain sub-permissions under the circulation module, the
main permission “Check out and check in items (circulate)” automatically
becomes unchecked as well.
This behavior occurs even when other circulation-related permissions remain
selected. As a result, it becomes difficult to configure limited or
specific circulation rights for staff members without unintentionally
disabling the entire circulation module.
Could you please clarify whether this is the expected behavior in Koha 24
or if this may be a configuration issue? Additionally, I would appreciate
guidance on the correct way to assign basic circulation rights without
triggering the automatic removal of the main circulation permission.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your guidance on resolving
this matter.
