A permission is enabled by default. It is possible to disable a permission. A disabled permission will be prohibited for everyone. You can still check for the permission, but it will always return prohibited.
You normally don't need to define a disabled permission (unless you temporary want disable a feature of your application). However, you may want to disable a permission defined in a depended module. In this way you can disable the related application functionality. See the "*Changing Permission Definitions of a Depended Module*" section below for an example usage.
> Note: Checking an undefined permission will throw an exception while a disabled permission check simply returns prohibited (false).

A permission may have child permissions. It is especially useful when you want to create a hierarchical permission tree where a permission may have additional sub permissions which are available only if the parent permission has been granted.

A class deriving from the `PermissionDefinitionProvider` (just like the example above) can also get existing permission definitions (defined by the depended [modules](Module-Development-Basics.md)) and change their definitions.

When you write this code inside your permission definition provider, it finds the "role deletion" permission of the [Identity Module](Modules/Identity.md) and disabled the permission, so no one can delete a role on the application.
> Tip: It is better to check the value returned by the `GetPermissionOrNull` method since it may return null if the given permission was not defined.

ASP.NET Core provides the `IAuthorizationService` that can be used to check for authorization. Once you inject, you can use it in your code to conditionally control the authorization.
