Determines whether the current user may perform the operation on the node.

Parameters

$op: The operation to be performed on the node. Possible values are:

• "view"
• "update"
• "delete"
• "create"

$node: The node object on which the operation is to be performed, or node type (e.g. 'forum') for "create" operation.

$account: Optional, a user object representing the user for whom the operation is to be performed. Determines access for a user other than the current user.

Return value

TRUE if the operation may be performed, FALSE otherwise.
