Description copied from interface: Permission

Check whether this permission implies another permission. Be careful when implementing this method on your own permissions because this is basically the core of the whole security concept.

A permission implies another permission, if the other permission is a subset of this permission. For example, the permission to access all fields of an entity implies the permission to access the specific field "myField" of the same entity, or the permission to access all files under /my/directory implies the permission to access the file /my/directory/myFile.

Specified by:

implies in interface Permission

Parameters:

permission - The permission to check.

Returns:

true, if this permission implies the given permission, false otherwise.
