/**
 * Provides functions related to user authorization. Compatible with built-in Meteor accounts packages.
 *
 * Roles are accessible throgh `Meteor.roles` collection and documents consist of:
 *  - `_id`: role name
 *  - `children`: list of subdocuments:
 *    - `_id`
 *
 * Children list elements are subdocuments so that they can be easier extended in the future or by plugins.
 *
 * Roles can have multiple parents and can be children (subroles) of multiple roles.
 *
 * Example: `{_id: 'admin', children: [{_id: 'editor'}]}`
 *
 * The assignment of a role to a user is stored in a collection, accessible through `Meteor.roleAssignment`.
 * It's documents consist of
 *  - `_id`: Internal MongoDB id
 *  - `role`: A role object which got assigned. Usually only contains the `_id` property
 *  - `user`: A user object, usually only contains the `_id` property
 *  - `scope`: scope name
 *  - `inheritedRoles`: A list of all the roles objects inherited by the assigned role.
