> If a session is granted all permissions on a given item B but lacks permission to read it's parent node A an attempt to
> access the definition of B by means of Node.getDefinition or Property.getDefinition will fail with AccessDeniedException.
> Similarly, the same session will not be able to modify that item B - e.g. add a child node in case it was a node - since implementation e.g. checks of that
> item B isn't protected, which is determined by looking at the definition.
> My feeling is, that the item definition should be accessible even if the parent node cannot be read.
