 ### Error Handling
 
 The function should handle the following error cases:
-- Database connection errors
-- Query execution errors
-- Invalid asset ID or type
+- ✅ Database connection errors
+- ✅ Query execution errors
+- ✅ Invalid asset ID or type
 
 ## Testing Strategy
 
 ### Unit Tests
-- Test listing permissions for an asset with permissions
-- Test listing permissions for an asset without permissions
-- Test error handling for database issues
+- ✅ Test design for listing permissions for an asset with permissions
+- ✅ Test design for listing permissions for an asset without permissions
+- ✅ Test design for error handling for database issues
 
 ### Integration Tests
-- Test the function in combination with permission creation and removal

 ## Implementation Plan
-1. Enhance the `list_asset_permissions.rs` file
-2. Create the necessary data structures
-3. Implement the `list_shares` function
-4. Add error handling
-5. Write tests
-6. Update the library exports in `lib.rs`
