Review AD permits for requests

[Baroquem]

(Copy of https://issues.library.cornell.edu/browse/DISCOVERYACCESS-2693)

There's a question as to what the permit rules should be for treating users as Cornell affiliates vs. guests for delivery purposes. The ones we're using should be confirmed with someone (maybe Joanne?).

Asked Joanne about this on 7/18

Joanne,

Thanks — but which of these groups should be considered “cornell” and which “non-cornell” for delivery purposes?

Matt,
I will have to ask Michelle Hubbell about this. I really am not 100% sure. Also, it looks like there are many other categories (not listed here) that exist, for which we haven’t made unique stat codes. I assume the unspecified groups get an “Affiliate – Other” code when they arise. Am I correct in thinking that the “non-Cornell” group would not qualify for BD or ILL, but get LTL?

Joanne,

That’s right — non-cornell gets L2L, hold, and doc del, but no BD or ILL.

I was just looking at another old issue concerning the “CU Partner” group with unique privileges. It’s beginning to sound like we might have to significantly expand how we’re handling patron categories. What do you think?

Matt,
It probably does need to be re-done, but the differences are fairly subtle, like with the CU Partners. For example, CU Partners are very similar to the Library Card patron group, but they don’t have a checkout limit; but they DO have an item type restriction (can only check out “book” item types)! This has more to do with emulating what Borrow Direct allows than with what we would want to allow. In fact, now that BD has expanded to allow visual item types, maybe we have to update the matrix for CU Partners. Anyway, I still have to get back to you about the Cornell/non-Cornell profile for each of the groups below. Sorry this is taking a while – too many things intervening.
