Not = but ==  or ideally ===

I think that permissions return boolean, so I wouldn't use strings for "false", etc.

Your post was hard to read; it would be great if you could format text snippets as code. 🙂

One of the most common mistakes and hard to find. Never use = in an if-statement. I even avoid it because of this mistake. 

And when an expression is boolean then use if ( !expression) or if (expression).
