description (Permission.description) is a field stored on each permission record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the permission record's data. The description field belongs to the permission it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set description while working with that Permission record. Because description is part of the Permission record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the permission.
