I did create one to mimic the way I used to do an enumeration like
this.   It's a simple int id and varchar name table.  I'm not opposed
to using one, but I would like to have the enum in my code and not
have to manage the data in the enum and in the database.

The permissions will be changing as I add new features that require
certain permissions.  And there will be a lot in the end.
