Methods

  • Checks if the input can be handled by this class. If it cannot handle the input, rejects with an error explaining why.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

    A promise resolving if the input can be handled, rejecting with an Error if not.

  • If we know the operation will return a 404 regardless (= resource does not exist and is not being created), and the agent is allowed to know about its existence (= the agent has Read permissions), then immediately send the 404 here, as it makes any other agent permissions irrelevant.

    Otherwise, deny access based on existing grounds.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<never>
