Entity is not api accessible - permissions

I am trying to check the UserLicense Object's permissions like below and getting the "Entity is not api accessible" error.
Schema.sObjectType.UserLicense.isAccessible()
Please help me with any resolution.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

UserLicense is a system object. It's not permissionable at all. You don't need to check CRUD or FLS permissions on UserLicense (you can't perform any DML or apply Profile permissions on it anyway).

How can i introduce my own permission in a plugin

I would like to write an plugin for the cockpit app. The feature i would like to add includes also an additional item in the drop-down menu. However i also would like to introduce my own permission. If the role of the user has the permission the item in menu will be shown otherwise not. Is this possible at all? And how does at look like? I checked the online documentation but couldn't find anything about it. I hope someone could help me...
The only way to introduce new permissions is through a microservice in its manifest. With purely UI you cannot add those.
As an alternative you could base your plugin on any property of the user. You probably would than want to have a second plugin to set/manage this for a user.

Confusion about Foursquare's Attribution & Linking policy: what other ways can I attribute them besides creating a link?

I see either link them directly or visual attribute them. Example: say my website provides a recommendation directly to a user based on their submitted interest, do I just make sure "powered by Foursquare" shows underneath?
Any help would be appreciated! I'm new to tech development
These policies are generally more vague on purpose. Rule of thumb: If you're showing any data to users that isn't your own, it should be clear to them where it's coming from. This is done so the data provider gets proper attribution but also can protect yourself against content being displayed on in your app/site.
For Foursquare specifically, it seems like you would need to include a "Powered by Foursquare" icon and optionally provide a link to the venue if the user may need more information about the place.

What's the difference between "associated" and "bound" roles in OpenShift?

I'm just about to get OpenShift up and running but there's one thing I cant really wrap my head around. What's the difference between being "associated" and "bound" to roles in OpenShift?
I know what roles and bindings are and how they work. But it seems to me, that associating rules is pretty much everything I can do. I can "give" a rule to a User. But what does it mean to "bind" someone to a rule?
Thanks in advance.
What I'm referring to: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/openshift-enterprise/version-3.0/openshift-enterprise-30-architecture#roles
Binding is the verb we use to describe giving a user a role. The API resource is called a RoleBinding. Other words we use are "grant" or "assign".

RavenDB: how to check permissions for a user, wanting to perform an operation on a specific document

I have a multi-part, possibly confusing question... it's been a while
since I've dug in to the Authorization bundle, so it's taking me a bit
to remember how it all works. Bear with me as I struggle to make sense
of my thoughts, here :)
The majority of the code that I'm writing in my system uses a call to
the documentSession.IsAllowed method to check and see if the
AuthorizationUser has permissions for the Activity specified. This has
been working wonderfully for us, no problem. I'm expanding my app's
authorization to make use of tags now and I'm wondering:
Does the documentSession.IsAllowed method account for Tags on document
permissions, role permissions, and user permissions?
For example:
If I have Bob assigned to the Manager role. The Manager role is
assigned a permission to allow a "Review" operation, with a Tag of
"ReadyForReview" on that permission. How do I make a call to
documentSession.isAllowed in a way that verifies that Bob can "Review"
things that are tagged "ReadyForReview" ?
I realize that I may be asking the wrong question and/or looking at
this from the wrong perspective. If I am going about this wrong,
please let me know.
The end goal is really to say "Can Bob review this assignment?" Where
an Assignment is a document in RavenDB that may or may not have a
"ReadyForReview" tag. Bob should only be allowed to review assignments
that have the "ReadyForReview" tag. I would like to have a method that
gives me a boolean value telling me if Bob can review that document.
Derick,
In addition to simply IsAllowed, you also have IsOperationAllowedOnDocument.
That allows you to ask security questions about a specific document instance, not just globally.

How do I query effective permissions on an Active Directory Object?

I'm trying to programmatically determine whether the current user has certain permissions on a given Active Directory object (specifically in this case, I'm trying to determine whether the user has the "Send As" permission for another Exchange user or distribution list object).
I already figured out how to access the ntSecurityDescriptor attribute using ADSI: I can enumerate the ACEs in the IADsSecurityDescriptor's DiscretionaryACL property. But:
How do I determine from that data whether the "Send As"-permission is explicitly allowed or denied for a trustee?
How do I discover this when the permission has been granted indirectly via group membership? Do I really have to parse the effective permissions myself by (recursively) checking all groups the user is a member of? Surely there must be an API for that task...
FWIW, I'm coding in Delphi (i.e. native Win32 code) using the ActiveDs.dll typelibrary, so .NET-specific solutions won't really help me much unless their source code gives me clues to how to do the same thing in native code. The same goes for PowerShell.
Before anyone starts: I already know about the PR_EMS_AB_PUBLIC_DELEGATES and PR_EMS_AB_PUBLIC_DELEGATES_BL_O Extended MAPI properties. However, this is not what I'm after. These properties refer to the "Send on behalf of"-right (a.k.a. delegates), not the "Send As" permission, which is quite a different thing.
Here's the MSDN article that explains - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms675580(v=VS.85).aspx. There is an attached sample that shows how to call the API.
