Hi Erik,
I think what Thomas was trying to say in his reply is that you need to
grant the associated user permission to the staff patron group you're
setting up.
So for example, 'group_application.user.patron' is the name of the
'application_perm' for the default 'Patrons' group. So that means you
have to give 'group_application.user.patron' as a permission to the
Volunteer staff group you're creating to allow them to edit patrons
associated with the 'Patrons' group. If you have any other groups they
need to be able to edit, you'd need to check the application_perm for
those other groups.
We use this extensively in our consortium with additional custom
application_perms to restrict editing between various staff groups, etc.

MVLC has a "patron" group, for example, that we assign "patron staff
members" to. Only our central site staff can edit that group, ensuring
that desk staff and volunteers don't change the passwords of other
staff members.

Hi Evergreen Community,
I have a noobish question/problem about permissions that I'm sure has an
easy answer:
We have a Volunteer login for the staff client that is limited in its
permissions. One thing it currently cannot do is edit patron info
using the
Edit tab in the patron record pages.
We are trying to allow this account to save edits to patron records
but I
cannot seem to make this work (the save buttons are disabled). I have
tried
giving the account the CREATE_USER and UPDATE_USER permissions, with the
editing permission level set to staff or patron-level (and then running
autogen), but this doesn't do it. The volunteer account can only save
changes to its own patron record, not anyone else's.
What am I missing here? What has to be enabled to allow saving
changes to
other patron records? We are running Evergreen 2.1.
Many Thanks,
