Background
Currently, a user with ‘Physical Inventory Operator’ role at institutional level can perform physical inventory change by a batch job ‘Change Physical Items information’ in Alma. This applies to a set of any physical items owned by all libraries in an institution. A user with this role at library level has no way to run the job ‘Change Physical Items information’ in Alma as it is not on the job list.

Request
In an institution of a network of libraries, a branch library staff often updates information of a batch of physical items owned by branch library. The user role ‘Physical Inventory Operator’ role at institution level grants branch library staff to update information of physical items owned by all libraries in the institution. There is a risk that branch library staff with this role at institution level to apply the job ‘Change Physical Items information’ on a set of items owned by other branch library in Alma.

Hence, I propose to enhance the user role ‘Physical Inventory Operator’ at library level in providing the job ‘Change Physical Items information’ for information update of physical items limited by user’s scope (i.e. branch library) only. For instance, a Head Office library staff with this role ‘Physical Inventory Operator’ at ‘Head Office library’ can run the job ‘Change Physical Items information’ only on the set of physical items owned by ‘Head Office library’ (user’s library scope).
