Our use case: we have some questions set up that result in:
* question 1 - tags to put physical books on short loan
* question 2 - tags to request more licenses/restrict downloads of ebooksCurrently we display these to lecturers but don't let them edit them later, even though it would be useful for them to do so if they change their mind. This is because if we enable editing of these tags, they appear as options on all material types, which adds clutter and confusion. So instead we have to turn off the option entirely, and if they want to take something off 2-hour loan they have to email / use the Discuss feature instead of simply removing the tag.

This (especially #1) would be really useful for us too, since if a course changes hands frequently (some courses are particular hot potatoes) the list of course owners just keeps building up year on year. Lots of our courses have long lists of owners, many of whom have left the university.
When we purge user data, eventually they're only represented in the list by their old staff ID number so at least they no longer get emailed - but then we've got no way to remove all their courses in bulk (since they no longer have a user record), and instead have to go individually into each course.

This will be developed as part of the NERS enhancement cycle. Users will be able to add up to 10 page ranges.

Ideally it wouldn't be a fixed number of start/end pages - there'd just be an open-ended option to add a new pair. There's always one lecturer who needs to copy pages 3, 17, 20-21, 78, 101, 128, and 142-144 of a textbook. I expect this would involve a bit of re-architecturing, but it makes the most sense to cover the full range of potential use cases.

Bother, I've run out of votes and will have to see what I can scrounge from elsewhere, but in the meantime I want to register my agreement with this idea. The whole point of a workflow is that it starts, proceeds, then ends. It makes no sense for a workflow note to persist after the end of the workflow itself, and has the potential to cause a great deal of confusion in cases where the workflow may (or may not) recur in future academic years.

For #1 I think I'd disable Patron along with the other roles - if the account's compromised then the unauthorised person shouldn't get even that access either.
For #1 and #2 while I agree with skipping the need to save the user record (so easy to forget when in a panic!) it should have a pop up "are you sure you want to ..." confirmation in case of accidental clicking.

We'd like the option to have a start date but hide the end date.
Use case: Often lecturers will still be working on resources for their Week 5 section at the start of semester. Some would like to hide the section while they work on it - setting a start date ensures that it does get made available by the time week 5 comes around.
On the other hand once resources are shown to students we don't want them to be hidden as they'll be needed for revision and to have them suddenly disappear would be confusing.
