[binarycloud-dev] Permissions in R2

[Benjamin D. S. <be...@be...>]

Read the spec for R2, and the permissions class seems incomplete - let me 
give a scenario: 

We have a "settings" page, used to display and update settings for a portion 
of the site. (preferences, etc) 

We want to display the current settings, and, if you are an authenticated 
user, allow you to change them. 

If you don't have alter permissions, we just don't show you the buttons in 
the form, nor do we allow you to save anything. 

So, we want to know: 
	1) Who are you (supported) 
	2) Do you have permissions to view this file/page? (supported) 
	3) Do you have permission to a particular block of functionality within this 
file/page? (apparently unsupported) 

How can this be supported given the current level of the spec?
