          description: readable/writable, depending on parameter 'op'. This method can be used to check if an object is readable/writable. The authentication is optional, as you might want to know if 
            an object is readable for an unauthenticated user. An object is never writable for an unauthenticated user, so checking 'rw' only makes sense with authentication. Typically, an object is 
            only writable for its owner.
