/**

 * <p>

 * Represents the permission to view or modify the data

 * which forms part of the system management interfaces.

 * Calls to methods of the system management beans,

 * provided by the {@link ManagementFactory}, may perform

 * checks against the current {@link java.lang.SecurityManager}

 * (if any) before allowing the operation to proceed.

 * Instances of this object are supplied to the

 * {@link java.lang.SecurityManager} in order to perform

 * these checks.  It is not normal for instances of this

 * class to be created outside the use of the

 * {@link java.lang.SecurityManager}.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * This object can represent two types of management

 * permission:

 * </p>

 * <ul>

 * <li><strong>monitor</strong> &mdash; this allows access

 * to information such as the arguments supplied to the

 * virtual machine, the currently loaded classes and the

 * stack traces of running threads.  Malicious code may

 * use this to obtain information about the system and

 * exploit any vulnerabilities found.</li>

 * <li><strong>control</strong> &mdash; this allows the

 * information stored by the management beans to be altered.

 * For example, additional debugging information (such

 * as class loading traces) may be turned on or memory

 * usage limits changed.  Malicious code could use

 * this to alter the behaviour of the system.</li>

 * </ul>
