After searching around on Google and asking in IRC (it's saturday, I wasn't 
really expecting much activity ;) ), I've decided I should ask here.

What's the proper way to check if a user has permissions to do something? 
Here's what I have:

if(currentUser.hasPermission(Permission.DELETE)) {

//procede with delete

} 


So on my test Jenkins instance I set up Matrix security and a readonly 
user. Here's what it looks like:

However, the above check always returns true. In fact, with a debugger I 
tried every different Permission and it always returns true.

I'm writing a plugin that allows users to upload files to Jenkins and if 
you have access to delete, you see a little "Delete" button, but I 
obviously don't want just anyone to do that.

It seems like I'm completely missing something here. Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Joel
