Patrons now have a new dedicated parent/guardian field. This field is editable in the patron edit interface, displays in the patron summary side bar on the browser client, and is search-able from the patron search interface in the browser client.
In addition to the standard "show" and "suggest" visibility settings, the new guardian field comes with a library setting ui.patron.edit.guardian_required_for_juv ("GUI: Juvenile account requires parent/guardian"). When this setting is applied, a value will be required in the patron editor when the juvenile flag is active.
Patrons who wish to authorize other people to use their account may now do so via My Account. In the Search and History Preferences tab under Account Preferences, a new section labeled "Allow others to use my account" allows patrons to enter a name and indicate that the specified person is allowed to place holds, pickup holds, view borrowing history, or check out items on their account. This information is displayed to circulation staff in the patron account summary in the web client. (Staff may also add, edit, and remove entries via the patron editor.)
A new library setting, "Allow others to use patron account (privacy waiver)," is used to enable or disable this feature.
