Ability to make manual notations in the history tab when updating a user's record
I think that it would be great to have a feature in the history tab that allows you to manually add a notation to indicate why a user's record was changed--similar to how a registrar's office makes comments in a student's record any time a change is made. Anytime we make a change on the backend, and then have questions at the front desk about why something was changed, it causes some confusion until we talk it out, but if this feature was there, it could limit the confusion.
I don't think adding these types of things to the note…

Order the toolbar
For each user the order of "Manage patrons", "Return items", and "Scan in items" is in a different order. You should be able to arrange these so that it is the same for each user.

Give institutions the ability to have local versions of user roles
We have just gone live and I'm setting up accounts for our liaison librarians. I'd like to create a copy of the Purchase Request Operator role to use with liaisons. I'd like fewer permissions than the canned version but I can't have ExL edit the current one because other staff need the role as it is currently. I think we should be able to make a local version of a user role that can then be edited without changing the canned user role. That or just let us keep the Selector role so I can have that edited.

Add the code to the list of Statistical Category while adding statistic for user
While adding statistic for user, Alma only shows the description in the list of Statistical Category. We would like to show the code and description both together in order to filter the value by code easily.

Display all roles on a user's record at the same time
Only 20 roles display at a time on a user's record.
For users with more than 20 roles assigned to their record, give the option to display all roles at the same time.
If you edit a role to add a desk, and that role exists on page 2 of the role list, it will "refresh" the display so that you're back on page 1 of the role list. You then have to scroll down the record and page forward again if you want to go back to the place you were.

General Mail Attachments
Could the General Mail facility be amended to allow staff to add attachments to an email sent to a patron via the USer Management screen?
