[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Expand Staff Only button access?

Hello all,

I was considering filing an enhancement in JIRA for an issue but was
wondering how desirable it would be for other institutions as well. I wish
that the Staff Only button would be visible for people with read only
access to some records. Currently, the button is only viewable to users who
can edit whatever record type they are looking at.

We made a user group for reference/reading room staff who we want to give
access to some internal records, but just not edit them. They are missing
out on some benefits. For instance, if they are in the public side of a top
container record that is restricted, they would be able to directly jump to
the staff side to view what local access restriction may apply or how long
the restriction is for. We also use the Repository Processing Note field to
document issues related to particular resource records and archival objects
that may be useful to jump to from the reference desk.

Since the button takes you to View not Edit mode of records, it seems
pretty harmless to link to.

Thanks,
Olivia
