+New API methods for flagging users as deleted and deleting cards
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+A new API method, open-ils.actor.user.flag_as_deleted, exists for
+marking user accounts as deleted.  Previously, the only way to flag a
+user as deleted was to update the record directly in the database.
+
+Additionally, another new API method, open-ils.actor.user.delete_card,
+has been added.  This will completely delete (purge) the specified card.
+
+This new functionality is not yet available in the staff client UI, but
+the existence of these API methods should make future development
+easier.
+
+New Permissions

+  * FLAG_USER_AS_DELETED - Allows the user to flag a user as deleted
+  * DELETE_CARD - Allows the user to delete a user's card
