[Koha] Permissions questions

I'm doing an audit of the permissions of our staff accounts in our system,
and have several questions about certain permissions.

I have already looked at the manual section on permissions and the granular
section, too, but it didn't give enough information (
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.14/en/patronpermissions.html#patronpermsdefined
)

Is there any other online documentation that explains each permission and
what it turns/off or what it may depend upon?

Here's the permissions I have questions about:

*circulate* *group*
1. circulate_remaining_permissions vs the other granular circulate
permissions -- what's the difference?
2. manage_courses/put_coursereserves/remove_coursereserves -- should these
even be in *circulate? *I filed a bug about these (
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11981)

*catalogue vs staffaccess*
1. what's the difference between the *catalogue* permission and the
*staffaccess* permission?


*reserveforothers group*
1. edit_holds: how does one edit holds? What's this permission mean?
2. place_holds vs add_holds: what's the difference between these two
permissions?
3. modify_holds_priority vs. reorder_holds -- what's the difference between
these two permissions?


*edit_catalogue/tools groups *
1. edit_catalogue/batch_edit_items vs tools/batch_edit_items -- what's the
difference between the two permissions?

Thanks!
