What you want to do is pass each "perm_field" as a parameter.

So, you'd do something like:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION permission(perm_field1 int, perm_field2 int,
perm_field3 int) RETURNS BOOLEAN LANGUAGE plpgsql STABLE AS $$
BEGIN
IF perm_field1 = 2 THEN
    RETURN FALSE;
ELSIF perm_field2 = perm_field3 THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
    RETURN FALSE;
END IF;
END;
$$;

And then:

SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE permission
(perm_field1,perm_field2,perm_field3);

Hope this helps,
