## Mission Permissions

To access mission views, users must meet both of the following conditions:

* User is a member of this mission
* User is a member of the repositories associated with this mission

User's operation permissions on Issues/PRs in missions are consistent with
their permissions in the corresponding repositories.

Mission A is associated with Repository A and Repository B.
Xiao Ming has permission to edit Issue titles in Repository A, but only has read permission for Issues in Repository B.
Then in Mission A, Xiao Ming has permission to edit titles for all Issues in Repository A,
but only has read permission for all Issues in Repository B.
