Future Enhancements

Future enhancements include binding the Permission checks to a spreadsheet so that any changes in Permissions or Actions made to the client can be fed into updating a spreadsheet instead of changing the test's code.
Deeper probe into trying to perform actions that are not allowed by the tested Permissions level and checking for 'Permission Denied' messages.
