+UI for Secondary Permission Groups
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The patron registration/edit screen now has an interface for adding
+secondary permission groups (profiles) to a user account.  This gives
+library staff the ability to assign sets of permissions from multiple
+permission groups to a single user.  For example, if you have a
+cataloger who also does acquisitions, and you have separate permission
+groups for Catalogers and Acquisitions, the new UI allows you to add
+ecquisitions as a secondary perm group on the cataloger's account, thus
+granting all Acquisitions permissions to that user without changing the
+user's primary profile group.
+
+Library staff require the CREATE_USER_GROUP_LINK permission (which
+already exists in Evergreen) in order to add or remove a user's
+secondary permission groups.
