class Checkpoint::Credential::Permission

A Permission is simple extension to the base Credential, specifying its type as a permission and providing a conceptual object to be instantiated or passed.

The most common use from outside Checkpoint will be by way of {Checkpoint::Query::ActionPermitted}, which will ask whether a given named action is permitted for a user. However, Permission could be extended or modified to implement aliasing or hierarchy, for example.

More likely, though, is advising the resolution of Permissions with a role map and {Checkpoint::Credential::RoleMapResolver} or implementing a custom {Checkpoint::Credential::Resolver}. Subclassing or monkey-patching Permission should only be necessary if the application needs to extend the actual behavior of the Permission objects, rather than just which ones are resolved.
