Checks whether the object is usable, i.e. the object is an instance of one of the passed object classes, is not deleted, and the current user has at least read access to the object.
If the object is temporarily unavailable (e.g. the object's service is temporarily unavailable), the function returns false without an error. Accordingly, the result should not be persisted without further checks (e.g. whether the object class can be read).
If no object class is passed as a parameter, the object class Object is used as default.
This function can be used to optimize terms like
obj.HasClass(#Object) && !cootx.IsDeleted(obj) && CheckAccess(cootx, #AccTypeRead) && !obj.objdeleted
