The PermissionBean is the value object for authorization modules which determine permission for performing operations on an asset. It provides the following information:

1. a flag set to true if permission is granted
2. the asset identifier associated with the asset for which permission is checked
3. an underlying message collector which can collect messages
4. an optional typed entity, which is customized to hold further information regarding the authorization (for example: if the asset is locked by some other user and hence cannot be accessed)
