41   * This service provides operations for evaluating permissions and querying for permission data.
42   * 
43   * <p>A permission is the ability to perform an action.  All permissions have a permission template.
44   * Both permissions and permission templates are uniquely identified by a namespace code plus a name.
45   * The permission template defines the course-grained permission and specifies what additional
46   * permission details need to be collected on permissions that use that template.  For example, a
47   * permission template might have a name of "Initiate Document" which requires a permission detail
48   * specifying the document type that can be initiated.  A permission created from the "Initiate Document"
49   * template would define the name of the specific Document Type that can be initiated as a permission
50   * detail.
51   * 
52   * <p>The isAuthorized and isAuthorizedByTemplate operations
53   * on this service are used to execute authorization checks for a principal against a
54   * permission.  Permissions are always assigned to roles (never directly to a principal or
55   * group).  A particular principal will be authorized for a given permission if the permission
56   * evaluates to true (according to the permission evaluation logic and based on any supplied
57   * permission details) and that principal is assigned to a role which has been granted the permission.
58   * 
59   * <p>The actual logic for how permission evaluation logic is defined and executed is dependent upon
60   * the permission service implementation.  However, it will typically be associated with the permission
61   * template used on the permission.
