Returns true if content permission was actually changed by the routine invocation, i.e. a user was actually added to the specified content permission. Returns false if a content permission was not changed.
If the routine returns false, it doesn't mean that a user doesn't have the specified permission. It just means that the state of the content permission was not changed.
