Website account permissions

Story

In this exercise you'll be checking permissions of user accounts on an internet forum. The forum supports three different permissions:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Delete

There are three types of accounts, each with different default permissions:

  • Guests: can read posts.
  • Users: can read and write posts.
  • Moderators: can read, write and delete posts.

Sometimes individual permissions are modified, for example giving a guest account the permission to also write posts.

Tasks

These are example tasks that fit the website permissions exercise:

  • Get default permissions for an account type
  • Grant a permission
  • Revoke a permission
  • Check for a permission
