[Koha] Restrict access

Hi,

using Agerestriction is a good idea, but at the moment it will only 
prevent Circulation. Koha doesn't have a mechanism to control access to 
linked files. As Eric pointed out there are several problems to consider 
there and it will require an external solution to Koha.

Hope that helps,

Katrin
