=head1 NAME

MT::Permission - Movable Type permissions record

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use MT::Permission;
    my $perms = MT::Permission->load({ blog_id => $blog->id,
                                       author_id => $author->id })
        or die "User has no permissions for blog";
    $perms->can_create_post
        or die "User cannot publish to blog";

    $perms->can_edit_config(0);
    $perms->save
        or die $perms->errstr;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

An I<MT::Permission> object represents the permissions settings for a user
in a particular blog. Permissions are set on a role basis, and each permission
is either on or off for an user-blog combination; permissions are stored as
a bitmask.

Note: The I<MT::Permission> object is not meant to be modified or created
directly. Permissions should be assigned to users through role associations,
or through MT::Author's can_xxx methods for system level privileges.
The I<MT::Permission> object is actually managed by Movable Type purely, and
is a flattened view of all the permissions a particular user has for a single
blog.  Users' system level privileges are also stored in MT::Permission record
with blog_id = 0.

=head1 USAGE

As a subclass of I<MT::Object>, I<MT::Permission> inherits all of the
data-management and -storage methods from that class; thus you should look
at the I<MT::Object> documentation for details about creating a new object,
loading an existing object, saving an object, etc.

The following methods are unique to the I<MT::Permission> interface. Each of
these methods, B<except> for I<set_full_permissions>, can be called with an
optional argument to turn the permission on or off. If the argument is some
true value, the permission is enabled; otherwise, the permission is disabled.
If no argument is provided at all, the existing permission setting is
returned.

=head2 MT::Permission->perms( [ $set ] )

Returns an array reference containing the list of available permissions. The
array is a list of permissions, each of which is an array reference with
the following items:

    [ key, label, set ]

The 'key' element is the value of that permission and is also a unique 
identifier that is used to identify the permission. Declared permissions
may be tested through a 'can' method that is added to the MT::Permission
namespace when registering them. So if you register with a 'key' value 
of 'foo', this creates a method 'can_foo', which may be tested for like this:

    my $perm = $app->permissions;
    if ($perm->can_foo) {
        $app->foo;
    }

The 'label' element is a phrase that identifies the permission.

The 'set' element identifies which group or category of permissions the
permission is associated with. Currently, there are two sets of 
permissions: 'blog' and 'system'.

If you call the perms method with the $set parameter, it will only return
permissions declared with that 'set' identifier.

=head2 MT::Permission->add_permission( \%perm )

=head2 MT::Permission->add_permission( \@perm )

Both of these methods can be used to register a new permission with
Movable Type.

Note: It is not advisable to call these method to register custom permissions
without having preregistered for one from Six Apart, Ltd. This will
reserve your permission and allow it to coexist with other plugins and
future permissions defined by Movable Type itself.

When calling add_permission with a hashref, you should specify these
elements in the hash:

=over 4

=item * key

=item * label

=item * set

=back

See the 'perms' method documentation for more information on these
elements.

If calling the add_permission method with an arrayref, you should
specify the elements of the array in the same order as given by
the 'perms' method. You may only register one permission per call
to the add_permission method.

=head2 $perms->set_full_permissions()

Turns on all blog-level permissions.

=head2 $perms->clear_full_permissions()
