Bear in mind, the `DAO` and `Permission Manager` components both coexist within the same `DAO` contract. Function calls are visualized as black arrows and require permission checks (red, dashed arrow). In this example, the permission manager determines whether the token voting plugin can execute actions on the DAO, a member can change its settings, or if an DeFi-related plugin is allowed to invest in a certain, external contract.
