In we added support for enhancing JSON objects with permissions for the current user:

{
	"uuid": "95493e3d-ccf4-4357-803a-7632c5fda034",
	"id": 1,
	"version": 1,
	"active": true,
	"createdBy": 1,
	"createdDate": 1513622186000,
	"lastModifiedBy": 1,
	"lastModifiedDate": 1513622203000,
	"shortName": "GCDT",
	"name": "Global Crop Diversity Trust",
	"description": "The Global Crop Diversity Trust is an international organization with Headquarters in Bonn, Germany whose mission is to ensure the conservation and availability of crop diversity for food security worldwide.",
	"urls": null,
	"wiewsCodes": null,
	"_permissions": {
		"create": true,
		"read": true,
		"write": true,
		"delete": true,
		"manage": true
	}
}

The _permissions property is automagically added to all objects that support ACL security on the server (examples Partner, Dataset, Descriptor, ...).

1. Declare a class CurrentPermissions with boolean properties as seen above (create, read, ...)
2. Declare an interface IUserPermissions in the client model with _permissions: CurrentPermissions;
3. Update relevant class declarations of the model to implement IUserPermissions
4. Update user interface so that Edit or Delete buttons are displayed when write===true or delete===true respectively.

Example

The "Edit" button on https://catalog.demo.genesys-pgr.org/partner/95493e3d-ccf4-4357-803a-7632c5fda034 should only be displayed if the _permissions.write of this Partner record is true.
