Permissions

Revolt's permission system works by sequentially applying allows then denies.

Flow Chart

Below are the high-level steps taken to determine both server and channel permissions (click to view).

If you are looking to implement permissions in a library, I highly recommend reading either revolt.js or delta source code since all the routines are well commented and should be relatively easy to understand.
