--- Comment #342 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
Started to test functionality a bit more and I feel like there is a bigger
issue with how this will change how item editing is set up.

We now have:
* Edit items (not including items restricted by library group) (edit_items)
* Edit any item including items that would otherwise be restricted
(edit_any_item)

Test case 1:
* edit_items
* Independentbranches is off
* No library groups are set up

Items from other libraries cannot be edited.

This means that now both permissions are required in order to have the current
behaviour when Independentbranches is turned off.

As the permissions for existing staff users are not updated with this patch
set, it will cause a behaviour change and require a lot of config changes
(depending on staff numbers) to fix.

So what can we do?

1) Update staff permissions for existing staff users. This will still mean that
2 checkboxes will have to be set to allow for full item editing.

2) Change the checks to see if there are actually any library groups for 'item
edit' set up and only apply the limit if there are.

What do you think? I lean a bit more towards 2 as this will make the default
config a little easier (= no restrictions set up, no restrictions applied)
