  === Overview ===
  In version 3.0 and previous of iSymphony, permissions were defined for 'permissible' objects in the system - each object that could be controlled via permissions (extensions, queues, other users, etc) would store a list of the users allowed to perform actions on it, and which actions each was allowed to perform. Beginning in version 3.1 of iSymphony, the situation has been reversed, to make it easier to administer permissions and hopefully less confusing. Permissions are defined for each user or user group in the system, in a cascading manner. They are evaluated in order of decreasing specificity, and in the case of a conflicting tie, the action is allowed. This must be considered when using the REST system to define permissions. See the documentation for permissions for more details.

  === Defaults ===
--By default, all users in the system are allowed to perform all actions. Therefore, if a specific permission key has not been defined for a user (either on the user itself, or one of the groups it is a member of), that action should be considered allowed. When defining a permission, the default policy is also allowed, unless the allowed flag is set to false.

When defining a permission, the default policy is also allowed, unless the allowed flag is set to false.
  === **Exceptions** ===
--The heart of the permission system lies in the exceptions to the rules. This allows for powerful combinations to be achieved. Generally, the objects defined by their UUIDs in the exceptions field will be allowed to perform an action if the allowed flag is false, and prevented from performing that action if the allowed flag is true. That is, they will follow the opposite of the general policy for that definition. There are a few special cases.

++=== Special Values ===
++
++There are a few special predefined values that are used by the permission system. They are:
++
++* All Users Group: The all users group is hard-coded into iSymphony to contain all users. You can use this to set global permissions on the clients. The UUID for the 'All Users' group is 21d97061-ff6a-11e1-a21f-0800200c9a66.
++* 'Owned' permission target: In many cases, an administrator may want to defined that users only have access to their "own" objects: their user, their extensions, their phone numbers, etc. In this case, setting the permission to 'Deny', with the special exception df41edec-2707-46eb-8b8f-146b01d9b29e will only give users access to their own objects.
