function insert(item, user, request) {
var permissionsTable = tables.getTable('permissions');
permissionsTable.where({
userId: user.userId,
permission: 'submit order'
}).read({
success: function(results) {
if (results.length > 0) {
// Permission record was found. Continue normal execution.
request.execute();
} else {
console.log('User %s attempted to submit an order without permissions.', user.userId);
request.respond(statusCodes.FORBIDDEN, 'You do not have permission to submit orders.');
}
}
});
}

function insert(item, user, request) {
var currentTable = tables.current;
currentTable.where({ name: item.name }).read({
success: function (items) {
if (items.length > 0) {
request.respond(400, { error: 'Item with this name already exists' });
} else {
request.execute();
}
}
});
