New permission for allowing FOLIO user to refund a fee/fine

Description

Current situation or problem:

FOLIO does not currently have a permission specifically designated to allow for FOLIO users to refund a fee/fine. Such a permission needs to be created.

In scope

  • UI work such that the option to select Actions > Refund for a fee/fine is available only if the logged in user has permission to refund a fee/fine

  • Back end work such that the creation of a refund via an API call (/accounts/{accountid}/refund) is only allowed if the user has permission to refund a fee/fine

Out of scope

  • Additional changes to refund workflow

Use case(s)

  • Library A wishes to allow all five full-time staff at their desk to accept payment for fines. But, because refunds should only occur in the case of staff error, they only want the desk manager to be able to refund a fine. In this case, the desk manager is granted the permission "Users: can refund fee/fine" while the desk staff are not granted that permission.

Proposed solution/stories

  • UI functionality - UIU-2768

  • Backend functionality - story to be created by developers

1-8-2025 keeping open for now will talk with RA as to need. IMO I think having a separate permission for refunds is a good idea referencing the reason above.

I think this is probably ready for a dev team to look at when they are ready to do work in this area.
