Staff still see the Authorities button on the Koha home screen despite having
no access to authorities.

It would appear that you can grant access to editauthorities but there is not a
separate permission to allow someone to search and / or select authorities
whilst cataloguing.

So a staff login can see the Authorities button on the home screen and can
search for these even though they have the editauthorities permission
deselected.

Whilst I can see this logic, one of our customers has queried how they can hide
the button completely as some staff should never have to work with authorities
/ cataloguing and this made me think that it might be a good idea to have a
separate permission for searching.
