Oh, you are right. I didn't see it.

Yeah, now I see my failure. I take a look at methods of the wrong class.

I just want the administrator to set permissions for read/write to a
group of users and my application check the permissions when it does an
read/write specific action (in my case upload/download). For this I need
to know what kind of method/function I must/can use to check the
permission.

First of all I will take a look at the hasPermission() functions in the
different classes.

I'm still upset with myself that I didn't see that the methods belong to
different classes -_-

Thanks
