Bookstore: "Student Employee" role

When assigning the "bookstore" role, the employee is automatically given the "staff" role.  Given that the "bookstore" role is assigned primarily to students the added "staff" role information which is available to these student employees is problematic.  Personal communications that have "staff" authorization within the "activity feed" tab are visible to these students.  Sometimes, private information is conveyed here that is not appropriate for students to view.  In addition, the expanded "information" within the "info" tab is again information that is not appropriate for these student employees.  Whether it be birthday, church, or other personal information, this should not be available to these student employees.  Though these employees are technically "staff", they should not have access to all "staff" information.  There should be another role that does not increase the student employees access to college information, while allowing them to process bookstore sales, etc.

  This is essential for us, as our bookstore is mostly run by student workers, but they absolutely cannot have staff access to Populi.  Please disconnect the two roles, or let me know what options we have for a workaround.  This is something we need resolved by mid August if at all possible.
  
  Thanks.

  When adding the Library Staff role, the Staff role is automatically added -- which creates the same problem with student librarians and volunteers.

  Yes, this would really help us as well.

  Any updates about creating a student employee or student worker role WITHOUT being given the default staff role?

  @Christy - If we're planning/working on implementing a feature request we'll mark it "Planned".

  Anything we can do, as Populi users, to help make that happen?
