Hi Blou, 

Yes, extending this patchset to implement functionality requested in Bug 19501
would be straightforward except for the fact that the virtualshelves.category
has been changed to a boolean virtualshelves.public field in bug 28959. 
Meaning adding a third option of 'Restricted', or 'Staff client only' in that
field, would be regressing 28959.

However, the way I would approach the functionality you're after is:

* Change virtualshelves.public back to virtualshelves.category
* Add a new option to virtualshelves.category of 3 (Staff client only)
* Add two new patron lists sub-permissions:
- 'Delete staff client lists (delete_staff_client_lists)'
- 'Edit staff client lists (edit_staff_client_lists)'

When a 'staff client only' list is created it would be viewable by all
logged-in users on the staff client. It would not be visible to anyone in the
OPAC. 

Only users with the 'edit_staff_client_lists' sub-permission would be able to
edit it. Similarly, it would only be deletable by users with the
'delete_staff_client_lists' sub-permission.

Thanks!
Alex
