[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Library Settings

[Thomas Berezansky]

We assign update permissions to those settings we want library staff  
to be able to change, then give the staff those permissions at the  
system level. We don't give them the all settings permission, so they  
can only change the settings we let them.

They can, however, see all the settings and their values (as well as  
where they are set). If they want something changed that we don't let  
them change themselves they ask us and we make decisions on a request  
by request basis.
