Permissions

What level of permissions is needed to trigger an event handler.

In any event handler context, the triggering user has a *level of privilege*. This decides whether or not they are allowed to trigger the function. Put simply this is the "barrier of entry" for event handlers.

Permissions are set on a per-channel basis and are stored in the "users.json" file in the resource directory.
