As a user, I want to have a well-defined way how to read and write user access permissions in the context of the Standard Encryption Dictionary (Section 7.6.3.2 in 1.7 specs; also "Table 21 – Additional encryption dictionary entries for the standard security handler").
The user access permissions ("Table 22 – User access permissions" of the 1.7 specs) should be exposed as a property with the value constants.UserAccessPermissions on the reader. In that context, the decode_permissions should get deprecated.
See #2391.
