            Bug ID: 23517
           Summary: Incorrect permission requirements for holds operations
                    via the API

           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: REST api

When using the staff client, the holds modification page requires
"reserveforothers => 'place_holds'" permission. This is the minimum required
permission to modify a hold's pickup location, suspended status, or to delete
it.

The API requires "reserveforothers" permission (both "place_holds" AND
"modify_holds_priority") to delete a hold. This means that operations which a
user could perform in the staff client are forbidden by the API.

Add and update operations are also problematic because of the granularity of
the sub-permissions:

 - Someone with only "place_holds" permission should be able to add holds and
modify every aspect of the hold EXCEPT priority.

 - Someone with only "modify_holds_priority" permission should be able to
modify only the priority of a hold (I guess??).
