READ, READ_WRITE or DENY:
describes the rights related to an objectName
There is no EXECUTE or anything else in Zabbix,
i.e. objectName - Tree has to be designed accordingly in order to represent the perform actions.

E.g.

Let's assume a button called "button1", used in application "app1", having a label which shows "do something". Instead of model the action "do something" the idea is
to model the effect of this action - do something will result in a status change. Let's further assume that the button will only
be displayed if the user is allowed to see the current status.

Permissions/app1/button1/status

The following PermissionRequests would be used by the frontend:

1. Should the button (and its status) be displayed at all?
button1.displayed = hasPermissions(
{
objectName: "app1/button1/status"
permission: READ
})
2. Should the user be able to press the button (enabled)?
button1.displayed = hasPermissions(
{
objectName: "app1/button1/status"
permission: READ_WRITE
})


Usage Example for this pattern: Activation/Deactivation of a control program - the button
shows the possible action. If the program is active it shows "Deactivate". If the program is inactive it shows "Activate".
From this label the user learns something about the current state - therefore the status - read - permission is needed in order
to display the button at all. The status write permission is needed in order to enable the button (i.e. allow the user to press it).
in order to model the permissions to press / see a button "button1" belonging to application "app1"
the following template group could be modelled in Zabbix
"""
enum Permission {
    """
    DENY superseeds anything else  - i.e. if in Zabbix there is a DENY and READ at the same time the result will be DENY
    """
    DENY
    """
    READ superseeds READ_WRITE  - i.e. if in Zabbix there is a READ_WRITE and READ at the same time the resulting permission
    level will be READ
    """
    READ
    """
    READ_WRITE implies the READ permission. Do not set both READ and READ_WRITE at the same time if you want to achieve
    READ + WRITE permission, because in this case READ will superseed the READ_WRITE and the resulting permission level will be READ
    """
    READ_WRITE
}

"""
Represents a permission assigned to a user for a specific object.
"""
type UserPermission {
    """
    The assigned permission level.
    """
    permission: Permission!,
    """
    objectName maps to name / path suffix of the template group representing the permission in Zabbix:
    Permissions/{objectName}
    """
    objectName:  String!
}
