3. Run permissions checks

Once you have populated UserClouds with your types, objects and edges, UserClouds is ready to be the source-of-truth for permissions. To implement permissions in your system, all you need to do is add UserClouds's Permission Check APIs in the appropriate places in your software.

• CheckAttribute answers the question: does user X have permission Y on object Z?
• ListAttributes receives a source object ID and target object ID. It returns a list of attributes that the source object has on the target object.
• ListObjectsReachableWithAttribute receives an attribute and a source object ID. It returns a list of objects reachable with that attribute.
