# Permission Helpers
The `disagreement.permissions` module defines an :class:`~enum.IntFlag`
`Permissions` enumeration along with helper functions for working with
the Discord permission bitmask.
## Permissions Enum
Each attribute of ``Permissions`` represents a single permission bit. The value
is a power of two so multiple permissions can be combined using bitwise OR.
```python
from disagreement.permissions import Permissions
value = Permissions.SEND_MESSAGES | Permissions.MANAGE_MESSAGES
```
## Helper Functions
### ``permissions_value``
```python
permissions_value(*perms) -> int
```
Return an integer bitmask from one or more ``Permissions`` values. Nested
iterables are flattened automatically.
### ``has_permissions``
```python
has_permissions(current, *perms) -> bool
```
Return ``True`` if ``current`` (an ``int`` or ``Permissions``) contains all of
the provided permissions.
### ``missing_permissions``
```python
missing_permissions(current, *perms) -> List[Permissions]
```
Return a list of permissions that ``current`` does not contain.
## Example
```python
from disagreement.permissions import (
Permissions,
has_permissions,
missing_permissions,
)
current = Permissions.SEND_MESSAGES | Permissions.MANAGE_MESSAGES
if has_permissions(current, Permissions.SEND_MESSAGES):
print("Can send messages")
print(missing_permissions(current, Permissions.ADMINISTRATOR))
```
