Bug Description

In the traditional catalog, Custom Org Unit Trees as configured in Server Administration are used in the org unit selector. Also, with the global flag "Org Units do not inherit visibility" set to True, OPAC visible descendants of OPAC IN-visible org units DO display.

The angular catalog org unit selector does not observe Custom Org Unit Trees.

In our consortium, we hide system level org units that have only one branch to streamline the selector and avoid confusion while searching. The selector in the staff catalog should consult Custom Org Unit Trees and "Org Units Do Not Inherit Visibility" global flag.

Our consortia members would also find it more user friendly to be able to hide a few levels in the staff catalog holdings view.

The following discussion on IRC clarified some of the issues with the org unit display in the Angular Staff Catalog:

http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/evergreen/2022-06-01#i_507605

The staff catalog does not look at the following system configs:

- Custom Org Unit Trees
- "Org Units Do Not Inherit Visibility" global flag

Teaching the Angular catalog to respect these options would better align the org unit display with the expectations of staff users.

Title and Description updated.

summary: - Staff Catalog does not observe OPAC Visible org unit attribute
+ Angular Staff Catalog does not observe Custom Org Unit Trees or Org
+ Units Do Not Inherit Visibilty global flag
