Yes, we have granted UPDATE_COPY and UPDATE_VOLUME to Circulators so that they can edit call#s, replace barcodes, change status, shelving locations, etc. But, we only want catalogers to be able to create the items and volumes because there are more ways that can go pear-shaped.
I saw your response to the listserv that you only found CREATE_VOLUME or CREATE_COPY references in serials code and not in the perl code more broadly. That is interesting and I wonder if the CREATE permissions were originally intended to be strictly for serials.
That would be unfortunate and perhaps not intuitive usage, given that CREATE_UPDATE_DELETE is a common structure used for 75+ other permissions I found: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CYE9n-EkRJuo9SXT6mAffw0DhrdYadbD/view?usp=sharing. This is not counting a number of other common permissions that use some variation - CREATE_DELETE, etc.
Not sure how other are assigning the CREATE_VOLUME or CREATE_COPY permissions, but would be glad to hear more from others about usage, expectations, or recommendations.
