[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Hold Policy Configuration

[Anoop Atre]

Basically we are trying to set patron groups up with max holds (say 12) 
but when a staff member logs in they should be able to override the 
patron's holds limit and place a hold.

How does one get this to work?

Thanks much!

There is a "requestor" and a "user" - for the staff exceptions, which one should be set as "staff" and which one should be set as the patron group?  I have tried both and can't seem to create the rule and exception - I either get 100% unlimited holds (patron-placed and staff-placed) or get the 15 hold limit for both staff- and patron-placed holds.
