LD-1379 Added Staff Types to the Application Introducing Staff Types - one or more Staff Types can now be set at the User level.

In Team Mode - transfers are accepted by the receiving user and not removed from the senders screen until the receiver has successfully connected. In Infinity Watch -  the transfer is immediate with no waiting period.
