Permit class

The category a permit belongs to — resident, staff, visitor — which decides its rules.

A permit class groups permits that share rules: where they may park, for how long, what they cost and who may be issued one. Residential communities typically run three — resident, staff and visitor — while a campus may run a dozen.

Classes are worth defining even in a small lot, because they are how a rule change stays consistent. Changing what a visitor may do is one change to the class, rather than an edit to every visitor permit and an argument about the ones somebody missed.
