Whitelist. A Javascript Object

Blacklisted are those who access were removed and whitelisted are those who are specifically granted access or privilege. Below is a Javascript whitelist object.

//START OBJECT
var white = {
    list: new Array(),
    request: function(permitted){
        for(var value in this.list){
            if(permitted == this.list[value]){
                return true;
                }
            }
        }
}
white.list = ['jon','max']; //set who has can have access
//END

//Lets test the object
if(white.request('jon')){
    //if access granted
    alert('welcome VIP')
}else{
    //not granted access
    alert('Access was never granted to you'); 
}
