Bug Description
Evergreen 2.5.5
Currently, the permission PLACE_UNFILLABL
The unintended side effect is that the Place Hold will appear in the staff client for titles that can NEVER be filled by the place hold process (such as Overdrive titles or other eletronic resource titles).
The solution at the moment is basically telling staff "don't touch that button".
What I think is needed is a distinction in the logic between holds that are currently unfillable (but which will eventually be filled) and holds that will never be fillable no matter what.
I think this may be resolved by this commit [1] from 2012, which allows holds that are only blocked because of ITEM_AGE_PROTECTED to be overridden if you have the ITEM_AGE_ PROTECTED. override permission set for those users.
I checked our system and we don't have PLACE_UNFILLABL E_HOLD set for anyone, and the hold button does show up for titles that have only age protected materials, and the override is offered for those that have the permission. Running EG 2.8.4.

I'm not sure what version that fix was released in.
