Create a Permission Code

Ever wanted to add an extra permission code so that when you add permissions to a group you can create a custom option? Here's how it's done; Simply add this code to your Page_Controller class as well as adding "implements PermissionProvider" on the end of the class definition like so:

class Page_Controller extends ContentController implements PermissionProvider { function providePermissions(){ return array( "USER" => "Just a regular user", "SUPER_USER" => "A super-duper mega user" ); }

That will create two new permission codes: 'USER' and 'SUPERUSER', so you can then call permission::check('USER') anywhere in your code to see if the current user is in a group with USER permissions.
