- Method Detail
  - getRefName
```
public String getRefName()
```
  - getProjectControl
```
public ProjectControl getProjectControl()
```
  - getUser
```
public CurrentUser getUser()
```
  - forUser
```
public RefControl forUser(CurrentUser who)
```
  - isOwner
```
public boolean isOwner()
```
    Is this user a ref owner?
  - hasReadPermissionOnRef
```
public boolean hasReadPermissionOnRef(boolean allowNoteDbRefs)
```
    Returns true if the user has permission to read the ref. This method evaluates RefPermission.READ only. Hence, it is not authoritative. For example, it does not tell if the user can see NoteDb refs such as refs/meta/external-ids which requires GlobalPermission#ACCESS_DATABASE and deny access in this case.
  - isEditVisible
```
public boolean isEditVisible()
```
    Can this user see other users change edits?
  - isBlocked
```
public boolean isBlocked(String permissionName)
```
    True if the user is blocked from using this permission.
