Location-Permission connection

User can have permission entries for countries, regions, sub-regions and facilities. If a user has the Admin permission group for a country, they will have Admin permissions for all children of that country. A child can override a parent permission, which will also override the permission for it's own children.

Running tests

Use the command npm run test.

Editing, changing, building

Edit files in src and run npm run build to create a new version that's able to be imported by other projects. Commit files from the dist files along with source files.
