-=item get_template_and_user
-
- my ($template, $borrowernumber, $cookie)
- = get_template_and_user(
- {
- template_name => "opac-main.tmpl",
- query => $query,
- type => "opac",
- authnotrequired => 1,
- flagsrequired => {borrow => 1, catalogue => '*', tools => 'import_patrons' },
- }
- );
-
- This call passes the C<query>, C<flagsrequired> and C<authnotrequired>
- to C<&checkauth> (in this module) to perform authentification.
- See C<&checkauth> for an explanation of these parameters.
-
- The C<template_name> is then used to find the correct template for
- the page. The authenticated users details are loaded onto the
- template in the HTML::Template LOOP variable C<USER_INFO>. Also the
- C<sessionID> is passed to the template. This can be used in templates
- if cookies are disabled. It needs to be put as and input to every
- authenticated page.
-
- More information on the C<gettemplate> sub can be found in the
- Output.pm module.

Given the userid (note, not the borrowernumber) of a staff user,
return a hashref of hashrefs of the specific subpermissions
accorded to the user. An example return is
-{

tools => {
export_catalog => 1,

userflags.flag, while the second-level key is a code
