Restriction for privilege "change due date" is needed: for loaned items within scope: allowed - whereas outside scope restricted
"For dual layers it would make sense to be able to restrict the privilege "change due date" in CDO-roles for inventory outside own scope. It would be great to be able to allow to change due date only for loaned items whithin scope, but to be able to prevent it for loaned items outside scope. If it were additionally usable via the "circulate for" specification for the libraries for which "my library" is allowed to lend and book back, it would also make sense. It is very unfortunate that "change due date" can currently only be allowed in a role for all holdings (i.e. for both outside and own scope) or prevented for all holdings.
Small libraries, whose holdings are not charged late fees for late return, and for which the opening days / service cannot be guaranteed, need more flexible handling of their loan periods. Staff working in these small libraries need the privilege to change due date exclusively for own items."

Dear Mr Shechter, it is good news that staff privileges can be limited to the allowed scope soon and that this will also have an impact on the right to "change due date". Thank you!

As part of the soon to be released Library Independence theme, Desk operators will see patron loans only if the loaned items are owned by a library that is in their allowed scope, or has been loaned out at a library that is in their allowed scope (as per configuration option). This of course means they will also not be able to change the due date of loans that are not owned by their scoped library.
