Hi Joshua

We already have something like this implemented.
Users (be they members or staff) have a set of flags set that regulate what
they can and cant do in koha.

Currently this is the set of perimission available
http://hlt.katipo.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/member-flags.pl?member=12739

Its pretty simple to extend that more though.

Hope this helps

Chris
