[MICROBA-1822][CR-4822] * use `originalUserIsStaff` to gate bulk email tool access over `isStaff` Additional Context Access to this tool was originally gated by looking at the `isStaff` value from the CourseMetadata data returned to us from the LMS. The user masquerading feature seems to have some interesting interactions with the Instructor Dashboard and we may be denying legitimate staff/admin/instructors access to the tool. Instead of using the value of `isStaff` we will now use `originalUserIsStaff` to determine if the user accessing the tool should be allowed access (and this follows how the Learning MFE gates content).

Introduction
------------
A tool used by course teams to communicate with thier learners. The interface for anything related to instructor to learner communications. Instructor bulk email, for example.
Getting started
------------
For now, this repo is not intergrated with devstack. You'll be running the app locally and not through docker. This does make setup a little easier.
1. Clone the repo into your usual workspace
.. code-block::
mkdir -p ~/workspace/
cd ~/workspace/
git clone https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-communications.git
2. Install frontend dependencies
.. code-block::
npm i
3. Start the devserver. The app will be running at ``localhost:1984``, or whatever port you change it too.
.. code-block::
npm start
Environment Variables/Setup Notes
---------------------------------
If you wish to add new environment varibles for local testing, they should be listed in 2 places:
1. In ``.env.development``
2. Added to the ``mergeConfig`` found in ``src/index.jsx``
.. code-block::
initialize({
config: () => {
mergeConfig({
EXAMPLE_VALUE: true,
}, 'CommuncationsAppConfig');
Running Tests
---------------------------
Tests use `jest` and `react-test-library`. To run all the tests for this repo:
.. code-block::
npm test
